    You wrote that "no one hates LGBTQIA" (what's the IA btw?) in FL. If Axios is not an adequate source, perhaps this will suit you.

    Fortunately, there still exist a few checks and balances at the federal level, so even if DeSantis descends to the throne, he won’t be able to enact a law decreeing each of his whims, like he has in Florida.

    DeSantis is going to fix that.

    “DeSantis also promised to double down on his efforts to punish Disney through methods both in the Legislature and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight Board.

    DeSantis has now threatened to hike Disney’s hotel taxes and set up tolls on the roads around Walt Disney World Resort property!!


    Does DeSantis not realise that this will harm tourism and the state of Florida?????

    Effectively DeSantis is going to punish Disney fans from around the world when they visit Florida, WHY! Simply because DeSatis has a personal grudge with Disney.”

    LOL. You that lazy? Not a good look to post a blog post about why DeSantis is bad for tourism especially when tourism just hit a record in that hellhole we live in called Florida. It's like saying FL is awful in education when the data shows we are either the top or near the top. Can't figure out if it's ignorance or posters being obtuse.

    Florida tourism hits record number in 2022

    DeSantis and the legislature didn’t start to go crazy until after the 2022 election.
    2023 numbers will be more indicative of whether there’s an impact or not.

    I have the proof that posters on here were complaining about DeSantis being nuts in 2018 LOL. Go use the search function. I know you were on here then.
