@tgf9898@archbold23@briantylercohen Actually, I would. As to whether I would want them to keep the special concessions, again, yes I would. I remember Central Florida before Disney. It was a wasteland. I know because my grandmother lived literally a few miles from where Disney World was built.
@EstherRawson @JDCocchiarella@aka60643 And he was far right crazy. I mean, how many times did TSA detain him for trying to bring a gun and ammunition onto a plane?
@rythmone@briantylercohen I appreciate your question. Florida currently does not have an income tax. That is one of the reasons people move there. If these services were no longer paid by Disney, it would then be the county and state responsibility which would ultimately cause an income tax.
@czarcasmagoy @briantylercohen During their slower seasons, usually the months of January and February, they offer discounts to Florida Residents, both on tickets and packages.
@trosomh @ScottRichardFtl @briantylercohen Disney doesn't exist just for tourists although they are a large portion of their revenue. People come from all over the WORLD to visit Disney. And again, as a former resident of FL, I know that a large number of locals go to Disney. Incentives, escape from everyday life.
@cometgrl70 @BrockIMHO @briantylercohen You proved my point. Approximately 80,000 cast members at Disney, when/if Disney closes, will be eligible for unemployment. Those are a pretty high increase and Florida and DeSantis can't afford that. My personal opinion is that DeSantis has a Napoleon complex.
@kingery_timothy@briantylercohen It isn't a case of the rich not paying their fair share, keep in mind that Disney is pretty much self-sufficient. They maintain their parks much better than the State of Florida ever will.
Also, Orange, Seminole would have to resist this bill and it will die.
@TristanSnell He might want to think long and hard about that.
In correction of my former post, Florida will soon have an income tax which they don't currently have. Before it is over, Disney will make DeSantis eat that legislation/bill. Ron, you want fries with that?
@TristanSnell Amen!
As for Disney not leaving Florida, they have moved locations before and they have a lot more money to do so than DeSantis has to enforce his new law.
