This is the first time I can recall clicking on a story by the Hollywood Reporter. LOL!

Can you believe how quickly this was done? I've never seen a Governor move so quickly to accomplish a goal he set out to accomplish. Disney corporate leadership knew better, but instead of adhering to their creator's principles regarding entertainment, they folded to the screeching few in the front row. Who would invest their money in such a company?

Of course, we will see if DeSantis' actions actually have teeth and Disney no longer is allowed to be a law unto itself. It may just go on before with the special tax benefits that other towns, entertainment parks, and tourist attractions are not afforded. Is DeSantis all glitter and no gold? I guess time will tell.

Well played by governor desantis.

I read awhile back that the bill is not what people think it is. Maybe Disney still has a lot more control than we think.

Now treated equally like any other business / theme park in Florida...

I smell the fear - and love it.

While it is not nothing, it’s a long way from *something*.

In the final analysis, Disney has still pretty much skated.

Even if Disney were the all American apple pie institution, that would not justify everything it has been given in Florida. Just the government being the whore that it is. And what is being rescinded is just a little bit of the icing off the free cake.

DeSantis has scored a PR victory - and that does matter. But we have to acknowledge outside of that, Disney isn’t taking much of a hit.

This action was obviously done based on consultations with Paul Ryno as preparation for a 2024 Presidential campaign. /sarc

Well, Disney is listed here in the top 5 of all donors to Trump in both 2016 and 2020, so if he and DeSantis are going separate ways this could be a reason....

They never should have had this status in the fist place. I say this on general principles, and not because of Disney’s more recent depredations.

This is obviously just a ruse to make Ron DeSantis appear as a staunch conservative, when all the smart people know that he's just a RINO neocon operative for the Deep State, who exists only to serve as a foil against Donald Trump. I mean, isn't it obvious? < /S>
