Vindictive, thin-skinned, authoritarian Ron DeSaster has dragged Florida into the stupidest of wars, all bc Disney dared speak against the Don’t Say Gay law. Good to see it’s costing him. Nobody wants a mafia don weaponizing government against those who exercise free speech. Bobblehead Ron will never be President. Floridians need to be aware of what this is costing us:
Disney CEO Bob Iger on accused Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida GOP legislators of misleading the public and singling out his company for “retaliation,” and made a veiled threat that the company’s investment in the state may be at stake. “Our plans were to invest $17 billion over the next 10 years, which is what the state should want us to do,’’ Iger said during Disney’s second quarter earnings call, referring to the previously announced investment in the past tense. “We operate responsibly,’’ he continued. “We pay our fair share of taxes. We employ thousands of people and, by the way, we pay them above the minimum wage.” He added that the company’s employee benefits and wages are “substantially” higher than those dictated by the state and include paying all college tuition and fees for hourly employees in Florida. Iger concluded: “Does the state want us to invest more, employ more people and pay more taxes — or not?”
