went bankrupt a few years ago, no one's done anything with it yet tho. Unless you mean another park other than Holy Land Experience.
DeSantis is a FASCIST >

This cannot be repeated enough. >

FASCIST = DeSantis >

So Florida residents, DeSantis is fucking with your tourist trade now. I’m sure the sMaLL bUSinESS oWnERs will just love the loss of income. So, good times, patriots? >

They're too stupid to see that far ahead. >

But they're owning the libs, that's far more important >


Anyone who worked for a theme park or entertainment complex, or one of its subcontractors, during the last five years would be restricted from serving on the board.

So anyone who might have experience with the needs of a giant theme park won't be allowed to make decisions that affect the giant theme park. I know the Republicans will claim this is to avoid conflict of interest or "prevent Disney from controlling the board that makes decisions that only affect Disney World," but it sounds to me like the classic Republican "people with experience in X are the elites and need to be kept away from decisions regarding X." >

That only goes one way though. If you can’t take apart and rebuild an AR15 in under one minute while in a live fire zone then you are not experienced enough to talk about guns in any way. On the other hand if you have ever even talked to a black person you are too educated to talk about how minorities are treated. >

There's that "government shouldn't be involved in private business" conservatives dont STFU about. >

Dictator Desantis turning Florida into a fascist state and republicans cheering him on... >

And Florida is having the highest amount of new residents coming in from other States, go figure. People are just very interesting lately, or is it cult members just prefer to be closer to dear leader. >

Who are the new residents though? What demographics? Is it mostly retiring boomers wanting to be around their fascist rhetoric ?
Florida also has no (or almost no?) Income tax which attracts a certain type of person as well. >

The question in a few years is, how would FL be able to maintain their services and infrastructure  with near zero income taxes being collected from the well off? No way they can sustain a good quality of life with just sales tax collection. Insurance companies are already withdrawing from the State, so who's next. >

I'm voting for Snowflake Cove >

Die Scheisse Land >

So just rename it, but put his cronies in charge. Basically, a power grab. At least they'll only control fire, police, roads, and stuff like that. >

They  also had control of their own utilities(water, electric, sewage), their own permitting and planning, and had the ability to issue municipal bonds. They could even build their own nuclear plant if they wanted to. Now they're at the mercy of DeSantis' cronies. >


the ability to issue municipal bonds

Uh-oh.
"As soon as a case of liquor came in the front door, it went right out the back." ~Goodfellas >

Disney pays over 150 million dollars a year in maintenance costs to their properties (fire, police, water, sewage, electricity, garbage, etc.)  all of that cost is now going to have to be picked up by Floridians.  As well as the billion + dollars in bond debt the district has.  And even if the state finds a way to tax them more, DeSantis just cut them a massive 100+ million dollar tax break a few years ago.  So Disney's costs will go up by nothing but Floridians will have to pay it all out of their taxes.  
Florida is one of the dumbest states in the US.  Its all that swamp water they are drinking down there. >

It is all DeSantis and republicans doing performative politics.  The cost to the people doesn't matter to them.  They will get these same people to vote for them and PAY for their mistakes. >

The people are cool with it.  They only do it because dumbass Floridians support it.  That state deserves everything they get. >

Keep in mind DeSantis is doing this because Disney decided to "cross" the political party in power by limp dick criticising Florida's "Don't say Gay" bill.
DeSantis is doing this as a warning to other companies not to talk against the political party in power. Disney barely said anything about the "Don't say Gay" bill and DeSantis went full fascist on them. And Disney is the biggest employer and company in Florida. 
If the fascist Republicans will do that to Disney, they'll sure as fuck sink your business if you step out of line.
That's what DeSantis wants to be known here. That's what they are doing. >

Yeah this feels like a very illegal violation of the first amendment >

I hope they rename it Gay Creek, so that DeSantis can't say its name out loud. >

Sorry to disappoint, but it's gonna be called 'Central Florida Tourism Oversight District.' >

Can we just call it The TODd? >

Where are the small govt republicans now? >

Residents should file a class action lawsuit. They bought in Reedy Creek for a reason. DeFacist needs to be held accountable >

No one lives in reedy creek, except for a few Disney employees who live in Disney owned housing for governmental purposes. It’s the people that live in the 2 counties that reedy creek is inside of that are going to get screwed. >

Both heavily Democratic counties I believe. Probably a win-win from a fascist's point of view. >

Exactly. He gets to fuck over democrats and a company that disagreed with him. This is the kind of policy magas live for. >

I really wish Disney would just leave Florida and tell the whole government there to STFU. >

Sell it to the state of FL and they'll run it into the ground in half a dozen yrs. FFL >

DeSantis' Bible World! >

comically that exists a short drive from Disney already
