The other fun part is Desantis paying millions of dollars to fight it.

Which is like a tenth of what Disney pays their lawyers.

Yup. And for the people exclusively stuck in the right wing media bubble who will never hear about Disneys lawyers replying with nothing but “lol” he gets credit for standing up to and taking down woke Disney.

Nah, amusement parks are regulated at the state level and the likelihood of him finding a way to change that is basically nil.

Remember, RCID is pretty much it’s own little municipality in Orlando. Disneyland is very much within the city of Anaheim.

The original quote used “orange groves in Anaheim” as an example of the (sort of) humble beginnings from which Disney grew to great power.

It doesn’t say anything about whether Florida has domain over those orange groves.

Yeah was meaning more 'this isn't Disney's first rodeo', Walt may have been a hick from Marceline but his company hasn't survived a century and come out on top of a lot challengers for a state governor to even come close to threatening their bottom line. DeSantis will be out of office well before the legal challenges to their agreement wind their way through the courts.

When stopped at the border and questioned about her phone number and address being in a drug smugggler's phone, she acted clueless and then was let to continue on to her vacation in Mexico. When she returned she blamed it on her housekeeper saying that she was probably at fault.

I'm sorry I know this is horrible but I laughed out loud because this is exactly what I'd expect from the president of a police union

Yup, against a foe that already compromised Mexico’s minister of defense, where all the cartel management would take the opportunity to move assets and themselves overseas to a friendly non-extradition country for an extended vacation, while wrecking legitimate crossborder trade and tourism and making far more Mexicans desperate & prone to emigrate after we inevitably give up.

I need more background - is this about Central Bank Digital Currency?

Still, there will always be poor people frozen out of the banking system that have to use cash. There will always be criminals that have to use cash. There will always be anti-government types that only use cash. There will be people with poo poo credit that can't get a credit card and have to use nothing but cash. Good luck at getting everyone in America to go fully digital.
