  1. The entire situation is rather odd and exposes that conservatives are fighting against their prior cronyism.

    It will be interesting to see how residents react once they get the “bill” for this action. Yet, I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t mind taking money out of pocket as long as they feel they are “owing the Libs”.

    1. It’s not clear to me who wins, financially, and I’m not certain it will ever happen.

      I don’t like corporate set-asides. It’s a way for governments to give preferential treatment, and it’s also a way for governments to enforce their will on private companies.

      Parents should punch back against Disney’s woke nonsense. I don’t think the government should.

      1. That’s just it…it has this authoritarian, vengeful feel to it. As if Disney (or other companies) doesn’t dance to the government’s beat then they will take away the special privileges the government likely shouldn’t have granted in the first place. Either way, the conservative government leadership looks bad.

        The main question for me is…will residents allow this to happen due to the potential financial consequences. Or, they won’t care as long as they feel as if they are “owning the Libs” by having government punch back…despite it potentially impacting them negatively.

        1. Interesting trivia tidbit: the legislature that enacted the set-aside for Disney in 1967 had a democratic majority in both houses. Not sure how the actions of dead members of the opposition part are a reflection on the “conservative government leadership.”

          2. But that was before the magical reset where southern Democrats all became Republicans. You know, so we can attribute all the racist things southern Democrats did to the Republican Party. 😉

          3. Oooh, you mean southern Democrats, the ones that supported/tolerated slavery, opposed civil rights reforms, supported political candidates like Governor George C. Wallace, an opponent of federally mandated racial integration. Conservativism by other name is still just as culpable.

            An interesting trivia tidbit: despite southern Democrat history, it was a Republican governor that signed the Reedy Creek improvement Act into law in 1967. Just sayin’.

              1. Every state constitution empowers the governor to veto an entire bill passed by the legislature.
