Too bad that Disney has so much capital invested in Florida. That makes it expensive to pull out.

Stupid and mean.

Maybe Disney could relocate the Florida theme parks to Puerto Rico. Warm weather all year. Part of the USA. Would tie in with Disney Cruises.

Now there's an idea...

DeSantis is a freaking idiot. One of the reasons we don't have income tax in Florida is because of the tourism industry. Tourist taxes have always been the reason we don't pay state income taxes. DeSantis is fucking with the most powerful member of the most powerful industry in Florida. There is something very wrong with that asswipe.

It's real, as it turns out. "NSDAP demonstrators at Disney World in Orlando in May 2022"

NSDAP distributes their own white supremacist propaganda promoting their website, as well as GDL flyers and leaflets. NSDAP members frequently attend White Lives Matter Florida events and rallies, and in February of 2022, they held their own demonstration outside of the Daytona 500 NASCAR event in Daytona Beach, an event that draws more than 100,000 people from across the U.S.

Excellent idea, and I thought so even when I suggested it a hundred pages or so ago.

I was going to say Cuba but decided that would be completely unrealistic.

Unfortunately, you can't drive to Puerto Rico. And I know people from here who drive. It's about 975 miles from here to there.

I hate Florida Nazis.

You gotta admit that Confederate Schutzstaffel flag is a work of art. I have a lot of books about the Civil War, but I don't remember the South having SS divisions.

Does he ever sleep? Surely, it takes a lot of time to think of such cruel actions? Are there already DACA attorneys in the state?

Florida Passes Bill Allowing Trans Kids to Be Taken From Their Families
Florida Republicans have sent the kidnapping bill to Ron DeSantis to sign.

https://newrepublic.com/post/172444/flo ... n-families

The Florida legislature passed a bill Thursday that will let the state take transgender minors away from their families if they are receiving gender-affirming care.

The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 26–13, mainly along party lines, and the House shortly after by a vote of 83–28, again along party lines. The measure now goes to the desk of Governor Ron DeSantis, who has previously expressed support for it and will likely sign it into law.

If he signs it into law, the measure will allow the state to take custody of a child if they have been “subjected to or [are] threatened with being subjected to” gender-affirming care, which includes puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy. Florida courts could modify custody agreements from a different state if the minor is likely to receive gender-affirming care in that second state. The text refers to gender-affirming care as “sex-reassignment prescriptions or procedures” and qualifies this care as a form of “physical harm.”

Time for some people to get the hell out of that state. Easier said than done, I know.

As homeowners insurance rates in FL have tripled, Ron Desantis has raked in $3.9 million from the insurance industry.

Surely, if a DACA kid somehow became a US Citizen, that would be a violation of the some Constitutional Right.
