Again, let’s not misrepresent what was done.

“ At the bill signing ceremony, DeSantis said Disney lied about the content of the state’s new “Parental Rights in Education” law, and he viewed the company’s vow to fight it as unacceptable.

“You’re a corporation based in Burbank, California, and you’re gonna marshal your economic might to attack the parents of my state. We view that as a provocation, and we’re going to fight back against that,” DeSantis said.”

As often happens when things are rammed through the legislation without proper analysis, I am now reading that there is some doubt that this action will hurt Disney and may even benefit them

Be that as it may, this was not done for punishment. Disney chose to fight, DeSantis has the courage to fight back. No one in this state voted for Disney to have a say in our politics. They chose to attack the state of Florida, as Rambo said, “they drew first blood”.

I think you mistyped that. Either that or you contradict yourself in your next sentences.

So if this action actually ends up helping Disney, was Desantis supporting what Disney did or did he just screw up?

So, that makes sense, Disney publicly opposed a bill the governor proposed, so the governor pass a law that helps Disney.

Hmmm. yeah, makes complete sense to me.

I'm saying that maybe (just maybe) this all happened so quickly and with next to no due diligence that the Fl gov thought they were punishing Disney by removing what looks like a big perk. But maybe it really isn't such a great perk anymore. Things change (a lot) in 50 years. So Disney is quiet because they are trying to figure out why what just happened is bad for them.

Haven’t you been told, he never screws up.
