Looks like Ron is losing weight. I guess he's getting ready for the big reveal. For some reason he reminds me of Marilu Henner.

This is why DeSantis shouldn't come within smelling distance of the White House. FDA will be muzzled unless their decisions politically align with the meatball. DOJ won't prosecute civil rights cases. We've already seen the spite fence he's built around Disney.

Yeah I saw this - Florida's SG should lose his license over this. It's blatant falsification of research.

Can you imagine Ron winning and putting Ladapo in the U.S. Surgeon General position. I can.

Ron is going after Disney's monorail system now. I wonder if and when Disney will fight back.


Disney inspects its own rides and monorails, but lawmakers are stripping both those powers away. In an amendment to a license plate reader bill, lawmakers said monorail systems in special districts that cross county lines would be subject to state inspections – rules that only apply to Disney’s monorail.

Disney should add a new admission category and charge the inspectors $1B to enter the park.

In all seriousness, this will start the litigation because it's targeted. Game on PuddingFingers McBobblehead.

If they didn't sue over the other BS, they aren't going to sue over this. The vast majority of parks in the US get state inspections, when I was a carny I got inspected all the time. It isn't a big deal. Now if the inspectors start doing BS and purposely start effecting operations, then Disney should fight back.

After being in states with and without inspections, I believe every state should be inspecting rides. It's of very little burden to places that actually maintain their rides, but keeps the bad operators somewhat honest.

I don't necessarily think it's about the inspection. Disney has apparently been doing an acceptable job of that on their own for quite some time. It's that Disney used up their moves while still controlling the district/board. Now that's over so they have one less venue to make their play.

They're very obviously ready to go the legal route based on how they pulled off the perpetuity bit in the board rules before they lost control. That was entirely about them showing off the size of their "briefs" in the legal dick measuring contest. They wouldn't go to those lengths if they thought it was a settled and done situation. I think they knew it would set him off and push him into further trouble that would give them even more ammo. And he's done just that.

Hopefully you're right, I just have my doubts.

Question—what would happen to Florida’s tax revenues if every single Disney-affiliated concession, ticket booth, hotel, restaurant, gift shop and parking lot cut prices by an amount proportional to Florida’s state sales tax rate? Sure, Disney would take a hit (assuming minimal price elasticity)—but that would also put a big dent in the coffers of a state with no income tax, correct?

As would defending against this lawsuit. LOL, imagine this goes all the way up to SCOTUS and a Robert’s court has to reconcile “corporations are people” and “money is free speech” with “corporations do not have civil rights”.

Disney has been saving it up. Douchebag Ron's response will be to say that he will win this battle too.


FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION: CONTRACTS CLAUSE VIOLATION
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION: TAKINGS CLAUSE VIOLATION

Apparently DeSantis' new board overseeing the formerly named Reedy Creek area that contains Disney's parks has decided to nullify the actions of the previous board that allowed 'Disney World to maintain control over much of its business operations'.
I don't think that they can legally do this since the previous board made the changes with full public disclosure. DeSantis and his lawyers should have been paying attention to the publicly announced meeting that established Disney control for the foreseeable future. Maybe some lawyers can chime in.

Talked about this in the Disney specific thread. Even if corporations aren't people, they still have/should have constitutional rights. Unless people are for the government retaliating against businesses for anything they want, opening the door to massive corporation and blackmail. The real problem isn't that corporations have a subset of constitutional rights, it's the BS the money is speech and the BS like corporations have religions and the religious can ignore any law they way.

Damn-I skimmed through this Complaint. It's a solid legal sledgehammer and is brought in federal court, so it will stay away from judges controlled by DeSantis. Disney played DeSantis masterfully-he's going to end up (rightfully) looking like a vindictive fool and abuser of his governmental powers. His Presidential campaign is over before it even started. The only sad thing is that the costs of DeSantis' corrupt behavior are going to be paid by the taxpayers of Florida.

Yup. Play shitty games. Win shitty prizes. This fuckwit is going to war with a billion dollar a year tax generator for the state of Florida. He's going to lose. Probably tank his chances with a presidency with it. And then they'll be stuck with his defeated and petty ego for the next 6 years.

Have fun. You asked for it Florida.

Disney wasn't sleeping. they were building a case against Desantis, the board and the state for its anti business behavior. what business files a federal lawsuit a couple minutes after a bone headed vote? it's almost as if they expected this and had planned on making it hurt for desantis. the judge assigned is an obama appointed judge. this is going to be lovely to watch as it unfolds, and this is before discovery where all of desantis and his teams emails and private communicae comes out.

republicans have never been pro business or small government. that was always a big bullshit lie sold to the cousin fucking dumbfucks that vote for them.

Next up from House of Mouse: "we are suspending all growth and investment in FL parks/properties due to hostile anti-business/anti-free speech environment and the uncertainties that come from it."

DeSantis' career will be a smoking crater when they're done.
