Seems there are multiple options to do so.

There is no infrastructure cost savings to them. They pay 100% of the infrastructure costs, the residents of that district pay NOTHING. That is part of the deal they get. In exchanged for tax reductions, they pay for the roads, water and fire services, and various other expenses to the entire district - which includes private residences and businesses that are not owned by Disney.

I'd post them here, but I'm sure they would result in a vacation, if not a permanent ban...

Go to twitter. Look up "Libs of Tick Tock". They have posted many of those videos...

Those videos were handpicked to be shown on The Tucker Carlson Show and probably represent about 0.1% of all classroom teachers. They were just outliers that do NOT represent most teachers. And anyway, what is the point of demagoguing teachers? To make them into the NEWEST most HATED group?

The ones I saw were discovered to be hoaxes. People who posted videos on TikTok claiming to be teachers, who weren't teachers at all, pretending that they were proud to be indoctrinating children to do this or that or the other thing.

Are residential real estate taxes in Orange County the lowest in the Florida?

He shoots he scores - the crowd goes crazy!

Sorry, got carried away. I tried to remember some business that publicly made a statement on a issue like this and none came to mind, you are so right. And now we wait for the next deflection, or for the "business should focus on making money and shut up crowd".

Obviously ChickFilet is not a business.

Thank you.

No problems are solved, like improved roads and bridges in the US. Just crazy emotions get stirred up. The idea is to make truth non-existent and increase opportunities for chaos.

I myself am NOT instilling fear, But rather, I am placing blame at the feet of those who do. I am trying to explain how and why they do it. And how they're playing on the emotion of fear to spread hate for minorities and weaker groups. The majority WHIITE ethnic and largely male group is worried about gradually losing their POWER. They demagogue small groups and jump from group to group. Today it is the non-existent group of TEACHERS engaged in "GROOMING" children. It is a made up issue from dark conspiracy theories. They might as well pass a law outlawing UNICORNS!

I am so terrible for asking people to think. And also everyone should ask, "Why propose a law as a solution for a problem that does not exist." It is going to COST the people of Florida a lot of money to go around chasing imaginary unicorns and the reality of jousting with the Magic Kingdom. Good luck with that making someone more popular and having more POWER.

The middle class IS definitely shrinking!

Eventually, people stop fighting, and we end up with restrictions and reduced freedom for all - except the few who make the rules.

Imagine how TWISTED it is that teachers and public educators are being turned into the enemy, the other, the non-human. That is so TRISTED that it is 180 degrees turned around from basic REALITY. The concept of chaos and "there is no truth" has been weaponized against patriotic, hard-working US citizens. Greed and power are a nasty combination!

Yes, I could believe that. V.Putin says truth is non-existent and his opportunities are numerous.

I think this statement pretty much covers a lot of what has been happening in America. It do seem almost everyday another person tries to see just how far they can push that mythical boogieman.

I remember someone screaming in desperation, "1984 was not supposed to be a training manual!"

Look around at all the crazy stuff going on, and ask yourself who profits by all this Americas hating Americans?

Maybe Putin?

Yes, but the they stopped using the ABA to recommend judges for some time, until a certain POTUS decided to resurrect the practice...
