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

    It makes my brain hurt. There's something in there about 1000 years. You read it and explain it to us, please.

    Since it says "descendents", wouldn't that include any relatives that could be traced back to him, even if it's 1000 years from now?

    (editing this to note that the question has been answered, the extended version of the clauses clarifies that it means “currently living” descendants.

    When I was studying for the Bar Exam, I identified two things that I wasn't going to bother with and would just get wrong if they came up: (1) the RAP; and (2) anything that required me to be able to draw out or interpret a legal description.

    Yeah, normally I would be angry at a corporation basically declaring itself independent from the state to do what it wants.
    But this was such a brazen idiotic culture war move with no real point, that seeing them with egg on their face is hilarious. I mean, how could they not see this coming? Too busy looking for the next woke fight I guess.

    And Disney cares about their image far too much to do anything to wreck that land or endanger surrounding communities, so it should be fine if it stands.

    The full clause says descendants living at the time of execution, so it would be whichever grandkid lives the longest + 21 years.

    And piss off every tourist, worker etc. who comes on the property, just to show your power by throwing a meaningless temper tantrum?
    The reaction would be hilarious.

    It's really only "independent" from local government. It still has to follow all of the county/state/federal regs that everyone else has to follow, and it still pays all of the taxes at those levels.

    Even pre-takeover, RCID was basically just a big-ass HOA.

    apparently not much. Quickly tried to change the topic to trump in 2024 and Fox News.

    I agree largely.
    But I also think another POV is developing, at least for me. Trump is still the biggest danger to our country on either side, but he is also a narcissistic idiot who can’t help himself.
    Ron is smart enough to know what he is doing, and spends his days pitting people against each other for his own gain anyway, with no substance behind anything he does other than yelling “woke” every five minutes. In a way, that makes him as unlikeable and dangerous as Trump, maybe more. Because he is doing it consciously and has a formula for division that this country needs about as much as an anal fissure right now.
    He’s also on his way to wrecking UF’s rep, which took decades to build in the process of glorifying himself for the sake of his ‘24 run. That makes me angrier than any of it honestly.

    We'll see if the Florida Legislature and the Governor have more power in the state of Florida than an entertainment company. I would bet Ron DeSantis wins this one easily.

    Do you think Biden is bringing America together? Serious question. Because it's been a long time since there has been a unifying President. I'm more of Libertarian than a conservative but neither side is trying to bring the country together.
