I can understand a special tax status in 1967, when Disney World was being but that was over 50 years ago.

Take a look at Disney’s institutional ownership.

I don’t think Disney taking it in the shorts will bother them.

[MercyFlush]

I agree. But it’s still nice to see them take a hit.

“Certainly, in my view, politically activist woke companies deserve push-back, but we don't like it when Conservative big business (are there any left?) suffer similar at the hands of awful leftist governors.”

If the South had won, we might still be fighting using the rules of gentlemen.

As is, it is time to go all Abraham Lincoln on them: invade and destroy. Treat the big Disney compound as a conquered territory.

No matter how this plays out. Disney law suits, etc. It is absolutely the last thing a board of directors with any integrity would want to see engulfing the time and attention of management. As opposed to say . . . growth and profits and customer brand satisfaction, or new markets. Yeah. fight a convoluted state tax court battle, that’s the ticket! Surely totally worth it.

The Disney streaming service seems to be very successful.

Less successful than previously...to include the common stock as well.

People are canceling Disney trips and Disney Plus subscriptions

On Wednesday, Disney declined to comment on the bill

Oh--so now they decline to comment....

Wow. This is way effingoverdue

Id put it in a fund to pursue pedos and groomers for sake of language, in case libs did not understand

It should be at the discretion of the states. States and local governments give tax incentives and enticements to to companies to move their businesses to their states and cities.

It is the prerogative of the states and cities to revoke those special tax incentives at any time and for any reason. And it is the prerogative of the business to move elsewhere if they don't like it.

[bella1]

Yes. I hope he runs

[redgolum]

I am not allowed to exempt my property from fees and regulations by saying “Well, I only use my own resources!”

No company should either.

I can’t buy a new full auto rifle. Local security and PMC’s do all the time.

We decided to make companies “person’s” under the law, yet give those persons special rights and protections.

If I steal or kill someone, I go to jail. Does a large company get shut down (as in all assets seized) for the same?

[dhs12345]

We treat streaming services like all subscription services — once it is no longer useful to us, we cancel. Sort of a hit and run approach or run and hit and run again. With all of the woke crap, it simply shortens the time til we cancel again.

We have used all of the major streaming services at one time or another including Disney +.

Heck, we could start and cancel within one month if there is only one show or movie that we are interested in. Easy peasy.

They have no loyalty to us so why should we to them?

And if we are lucky we can get in on some promotional discount which is usually the case if we haven't subscribed for a few months. Lol. :)

We can play the game too.

RIGHT NOW, DOWN 5.2%

lol

Disney may come to regret picking this fight over that law.

They may live to regret picking fights with DeSantis. We’ll see.

[rottweiller_inc]

Time for them to pay their fair share

[rottweiller_inc]

Well I could tell you one advantage; it would no longer be a pedo’s Paradise that can investigate itself outside police would now be able to come in and investigate.
