Sorry Desantis, but I think Disney may have gotten the last laugh

    They never can. It's a problem most of them have where they can't discern gradations between 2 barely similar situations.

    Do you understand the unique circumstance of Disney largely governing themselves in Florida?

    There are hundreds of CDDs… What exactly was the problem that Hugo DeSantis fixed? Disney funded all its own infrastructure improvements and still paid state and county taxes on top of that… let’s hear it…

    Do you understand that maybe the people of Florida nor the state itself want that relationship to continue and that it's been a long time since that agreement?

    The problem is the same as that of Walgreens and Chick-Fil-A, and DeSantis took action for the greater good.

    If not for one puny excuse of a man, Ron DeSantis, this would never have been an issue.

    So just to be clear, you can’t name a single problem with Disney that Hugo DeSantis has remedied? This is your chance to shine… bro…

    I could have really used your help back when I had a mortgage.
    Me: gee Mr mortgage holder this agreement is getting old and well I don’t want to honor it any longer.

    Or the 4.6 million people who voted for him after this whole thing got started.

    Those pesky inconvenient Floridians.

    Sorry democracy happened to you.

    Those WERE "predatory" after all. ;)

    I said same as Walgreens and Chick-Fil-A.

    Can't force you to read the answer and I can't stop you from strawmaning me to death.

    It was a simple question…. You don’t appear to know what “strawman” means, though, huh…

    The question is, what problem with Disney has Hugo DeSantis remedied? I’ll give you another chance to answer this clear and simple question, if you can….
