1. Florida Republicans screw over residents... That is all.

2. Desantis is an asshole looking for butt plug!

3. Where's Bugs Bunny when you need him?

4. Disney should close DisneyWorld for "renovations" for this summer

it would cut into their revenue and margins some, but not substantially.

Florida, otoh, would lose their largest single employer.

7. Losing their largest single employer hurts because their citizens lose their income

But those citizens (and the Disney customers who planned their first vacations in two years) are far more likely to blame the company that laid them off than the state government

5. This IS The Leadership They Voted For

And I'm fully expecting that they'll re-elect him.

Thank You Sir, May I Have Another?

6. Disney could fund DeathSentence's challenger this election

along with others in the Florida GOP if they wanted to. They probably like nice infrastructure for tourists that's why there is tons of investment for the Orlando airport, rail, roads, etc. to bring people in.

8. ROF is well off-base here

There are no "taxpayers in those areas". The population of the Reedy Creek Improvement District is reportedly about 50 people.

Yes, maintenance of the roads would shift to the two counties involved, but they absolutely would be taxing Disney for the service and Disney wants control of those roads (because they want them to be perpetually pristine rather than what ROF recognizes). They absolutely will not save money and likely will get lesser services.

And no... Disney couldn't fund lots of challengers and take over state government.
