For the first time, Disney is seeking damages in the state court case initiated by the governor’s handpicked oversight board.
In the case initiated by the board of supervisors picked by DeSantis to oversee Walt Disney World’s special tax district, the entertainment giant on Thursday filed a series of counterclaims, including for breach of contract and violations of the Florida constitution over its due process and free speech rights. It moved for damages and an order forcing the district to comply with the terms of the development agreements.
Pressing on him during his campaign would send a good message to politicians not to try this shit again.
On Monday, he [DeSantis] urged Disney to “drop the lawsuit,” saying he’s “moved on.”
He’s moved on; The Mouse has not…
The Mouse has a long memory, too.
Sorry, you paid for the ride, and now you’re going in the teacup.
Hmmm do I side with government fascists or corporate fascists for this issue?
DeSantis is currently the greater of two evils. For now, I cheer on the mouse.
The hope is that Disney becomes so occupied with getting its pound of flesh (and DeSantis has so much to take) that it’ll forget to
bribelobby congressmen to extend copyright protections another dozen years. DeSantis loses, Disney loses, everyone else wins.
I feel guilty for finding it so satisfying
What a wet noodle of a man.
Couldn’t take on Disney. Won’t be able to contend with Trump. Wants to run the country?
Desantis? more like defuqtis.
If you mess with the mouse, you get the ears.
Don’t mess with the mouse. He’s more capitalist than you’ll ever be, Ron.
I hate that the fascist has me rooting for a mega corp.
