This is what our fine governor is touting as a major accomplishment. What a maroon.

A 1955 satirical political novel by Leonard Wibberley entitled the Mouse that Roared was later adapted for state, film, and TV productions with no link to Disney. But that brave motif was brought to life this week by Mickey Mouse’s guardian, Iger. Iger decided he had enough of the corrosive political grandstanding of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis using Walt Disney World as a political foil for his own presidential ambitions and scolded the ambitious governor for his divisive demagoguery.
Bullies thrive when they see weakness. Iger’s predecessor Bob Chapek unwittingly provided that opportunity and DeSantis pounced. Chapek vacillated on the company’s position on the Don’t Say Gay legislation, ultimately joining 130 companies opposing the bill. DeSantis’ attempt to strip the company’s self-governing powers granted 56 years ago by the state for Disney’s 42 acres of parks in central Florida was an unparalleled governmental intrusion into private sector business decisions.
DeSantis attempted to seize control of the public safety, sewage and water service, roadways, and other municipal-type services that Disney funded, and then decide how much to charge Disney for these services. To make matters worse, a five person politically-driven board was to be given the oversight of this municipal district, including the wife of the state GOP chair—who is a longstanding critic of race relations history—a Christian nationalist, and a person who believes that tap water can turn people gay.

I love the way she thinks. desantis is very dangerous. IMO, he has overstepped his boundaries by writing whatever bill he wants, then the legislature just passes it. It's crazy. There are all sorts of major problems all over the state and he's busy running around looking for people to antagonize.
For every action, there is a reaction. He sorely miscalculated Disney. His pride is not going to allow him to stop unless he can create a crisis that deflects from the current situation.
But, it'll bite him in the butt later.

Why you’d want to make an enemy of Disney and the gays is beyond me.
He's following the MAGA script perfectly.
You’re still phuqued up from this weekend aren’t you?
Try staying away from that shit. And the shit you’re seeing on Twitter.
It makes you seem really dumb.

This guy bears watching for so many reasons.
I didn't like Disney getting the mouse copyright extension law, but this is a time when I hope that Disney wins. Besides, if FL were to lose Disney, the state would be in a major recession overnight.
He may be Ivy educated, but he lacks a lot in common sense, but OTOH, he is so full of himself that he thinks he's invincible.
Today in my travels, I may stop by the CP and see what's happening with my liberal sports friends, and the local rednecks.
