Disney has abandoned plans to open up a new employee campus in Lake Nona, Florida, amid rising tensions with the state's governor.
Citing "changing business conditions" and the return of CEO Bob Iger, Josh D'Amaro, chairman of Disney's parks, experiences and products division, penned a memo to employees Thursday, announcing that the company will not move forward with construction of the campus and will no longer be asking more than 2,000 California-based employees to relocate to Florida.

Having to pay their "fair share" seems to have them upset. Odd.

Florida sighs with relief California nuts won't be relocating

Funny how that works.

 

[TNHarley]

Yeah lol. I am sure FL is very upset they wont be getting a couple thousand limp wristed pinkos in their state

The same republicans who jumped all over AOC's opposition to an Amazon facility and it's resulting relocation are applauding InSantis's botching of whatever his latest problem with Disney is.

Hypocrisy is their brand.

Indeed who would want 2,000 high end jobs coming to their state.

From what I'm reading on TikTok (who knows if it's true), the fruits that are usually being harvested about right now are staying on the trees and the vines because immigrants are no longer going there to pick them.

As for the loss of jobs, tax money, and income, I'm sure the GOP is suddenly all in favor of government going after businesses.

Tic Tok? No wonder you're stupid

That is just totally ignorant. Matter of fact, the people of Florida are now on the hook for ONE BILLION dollars in bond debt that Disney was going to pay. Furthermore, local services in Orange and Osceola counties that were being financed by Disney in the special district will now be the responsibility of the taxpayers.

DiSantis's petty fights, his grudges, and his theatrics--think flying illegals to Massachusetts, are costing Florida taxpayers millions and millions of dollars. I am quite sure many of them would happily vote for Desantis for president, TO GET HIM THE HELL OUT OF THE STATE.

If those are the strings attached... Thanks but no thanks.

Florida isn't hemorrhaging citizens and jobs... that's New York and California.

That's OK, those people never wanted to move to Florida in the first place. Did you read the OP article? Nah, why bother, right.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

I'm sure.

Why do you even bother? Clown

Whether they did or did not, had nothing to do with my post.
