Governor Ron DeSantis, who declared war on our freedoms, and the MAGA movement, after publicly mocking Donald J. Trump, is losing again. Disney World is defying Governor DeSantis and his “Don’t Say Gay” bill by hosting the “largest LGBTQ+ conference in the world” in Florida. A Tweet by Tony – Resistance @TonyHussein4

DeSantis may well try to toss legally executed agreements in the rubbish, but there’s not a lot to suggest that the legal team assembled by one of the most powerful entities on the planet asked GPT to throw together a slapdash agreement. Joe Patrice in Above the Law.

In 1965, using a number of fake names, the Disney Company started acquiring enough swamp land in Central Florida for a giant Disneyland. Disney didn’t want the neighborhood to become a repeat of what happened to the area around California’s Disneyland so they bought enough land to have a Disney-controlled perimeter. In 1971, the Walt Disney World Resort opened on forty square miles of Disney-controlled land. Disney controlled the ground, which was a corporate fiefdom, through the Reedy Creek Improvement District, run by a board of directors named by Disney.

At this point, a confession is in order; if a Government and a Corporation are in a beef, I will usually be on the government’s side. In the abstract, if a company wants to overrule State laws and the State is trying to stop them, I’m on the State side. But that’s in the abstract, in the day-to-day concreteness of actual events, I’m gonna be on the side that I agree with. In this case that is a California company, Disney, who is bringing California values to central Florida over the objections of Governor DeSantis.

So far Disney is winning the battle; Governor DeSantis took over the Board of the Reedy Creek Improvement District to change Disney’s woke rules but Disney’s Board reduced it’s own authority to frustrate DeSantis’ ambitions. The LA Times has a very entertaining editorial about the fight that starts with, Did you really believe that Florida’s arrogant Gov. Ron DeSantis would get the better of Walt Disney Co. in their fight over Disney’s supposed “wokeness”? If so, you don’t know your Disney. It is a short editorial and I whole heartily recommend it.
