They involved themselves into politics and most people in orlando are so sick of disney that they loved every second of it. This video also isnt completely honest, it seems to start at disneys "win" and stop before their utter defeat. Classic lawyer bs lmfao. Lets just say disney is "paying their fair share" now.

      Yet other results of Disney’s corporate cronyism and monopoly power have remained hidden - until now.
      Crooked Kickbacks
      Perhaps one of the most egregious revelations from the audit was the unethical flow of perks and benefits from Disney to RCID employees. Disney effectively bought the loyalty of the district.
      According to the report, here’s how it worked: Disney would provide flashy perks to Reedy Creek employees, many of which weren’t available to the general public. These benefits included up to 40 percent off Disney cruises and merchandise, other discounts on resort rooms and services, and millions of dollars worth of Disney park annual passes for not only employees but also their friends and family - plus free, single-use, transferable tickets over the holidays. District employees even received some privileges reserved for Disney workers, known as “cast members,” such as gifts and invites to closed-door parties. Of course, none of these kickbacks were included in workers’ taxable income.

      You also have Republicans arguing that allowing a child to be trans or to attend a Drag Queen Story Hour is sexualizing the child, but marrying 12 year olds to 30-50 year old men is perfectly fine.

    DeSantis may hate drag queens, but he's a certified drama queen.

      And a drag on society. So a drag queen (derogatory.) Not to be confused with drag queens (disambiguous)

      How is LE supposed to predict that a judge will make an absurd ruling that flies in the face of all logic and precedent? It probably won't survive appeal anyways, so there isn't much reason for him to update yet.
