    It was about working at Tishman Construction.

    The problem I had was with both Tishman & Disney and like I_boy said my youth. I was complaining to my bosses that nobody was following my work schedules then being told to fudge the numbers and make it look right. When our team would meet with the Disney execs and someone would catch one of my lies they would pressure me about it. Being in my 20s I was looked at as the kid in the room and they were brutal.

    One day after a meeting I asked my project manager why nobody was following my work schedules. He answered, Son you weren't hired to schedule construction, we do that in the field. You were hired to make a paper trail of how it could have been scheduled. Then long after the project is finished Disney's lawyers, our lawyers and the contractors and sub contractors will all fight it out in court. That is the day I walked out of the office and said good riddance to Tishman, Disney and all. Oh and so as not to be misleading I didn't work the entire project. I scheduled the construction on the Exxon & GM pavilions and did the original work schedules for the Horizons pavilion. There was a chief scheduler who put all the pieces together.

    She was doing OK (for her...a sliding scale) until she went brain dead with that comment. I don't think Disney is looking to relocate from one anti-woke state to another, especially one contemplating imposing the firing squad for women who obtain abortions.

    The way I read it he was employed by Tishman during the period in which Tishman was the general contractor for the construction of EPCOT. The way he framed the post the problems he articulated were the result of the standards that Disney apparently imposed on Tishman.
    Caveat: Prior to my response I didn't read his later post (#964).

    Disney is going to lose. They should have never messed with our children. Do they really think they can beat the governor and his super majority senate and house , and the super red Florida Supreme court.

    It won't be the Florida Supreme Court. It will be decided in federal court with an Obama appointed judge. It's a slam dunk win for Disney. DeSantis lost this suit before it was filed.

    The trial judge will likely be favorable to Disney. The 11th Circuit has become very conservative, so the appellate results, is definitely no slam dunk.

    What happens if a court rules that the state had the authority to do what it's done but couldn't do it for the reason it did? Would the state get to wait awhile, make up some pre-textual justifications unrelated to the education bill, and create a better record for itself?

    Unlike leftists I don't support pedophilia. There is a reason the only people crying about desantis bringing the death penalty against pedophiles were the lgbqtPedo people aka the dems.

    The court will rule on the issue and controversy before it, which is whether Florida retaliated against a corporation in a manner which violated their constitutional rights, and also whether Disney’s responsive agreements and restrictive covenants were lawfully enacted and if so, whether the State can lawfully void such contracts in a manner which does not violate the takings clause.

    Bluntly, had Florida decided to meet, debate, and study whether to remove a Reedy Creek based on non-retaliatory basis, I think Disney: (a) would be a very different situation legally, and (b) would be in a very different situation from a public relations standpoint.

    While a rogue Obama judge might rule at the district level, it will be appealed to scotus eventually and desantis will win. This case is a slam dunk to go to scotus and desantis is a lock to win there. Desantis may win at the appellate level anyways if he doesn't get a corrupt Obama judge.

    Disney never should have been given the powers of a local government. That was illegal, immoral, and literally fascism. Florida's congress voted to repeal it anyways so Disney's free fascism ride is over. I thought liberals opposed fascism? I guess they love it.

    Not to mention there are a million more things desantis and the florida congress can do to disney.

    They can't win this one.
