DeSantis and Disney in High Noon showdown

Stay tuned.  We all know that the progressives are persistent, but they've never been up against a guy like the Florida governor. 

DeSantis and Disney in High Noon showdown - American Thinker   . . ."The fact that the Disney Corporation was run from the People's Republic of California didn't seem to be a problem.  Disney had been shifting a large number of its workers to the more tax-friendly Florida in recent years.  But then along came Florida's HB1557, a seemingly innocent bill aimed at prohibiting sex education for kindergarten through grade 3 in Florida's schools.

"We all know the nonsense propagated about the 'Don't Say Gay" law and the progressive drivel offered by the supporters of the LGBTQ, etc. agenda.  The Disney Corporation at first remained silent on the matter.  Then, prodded by "woke" members in their midst, they decided to condemn the bill, saying it never should have been passed and asking the courts to strike it down.  A determined Governor Ron DeSantis says it is a good, commonsense bill that will be enforced.  Woke progressives, lacking common sense, will try to defeat it.

"Gov. DeSantis will prevail.  The Disney properties, conservatively estimated to be worth just slightly less than $4 billion, cannot be picked up and relocated to a more 'woke" location.  Florida, for its part, cannot afford to lose the billions in tourist dollars and the resultant hundreds of millions in sales and hotel tax dollars that Disney brings in.  Not if it wants to continue to be a no-income-tax state, that is.

"Picture a Gary Cooper High Noon gunfight, with DeSantis facing off against some trans, or pan, or whatever sexual member of the Disney Crew.  I like the governor's chances.  If a state loses revenues, it can, though grudgingly, raise taxes.  If the Disney Corporation so turns off its tourist trade by appearing to be pandering to a group indifferent to the innocence of children that they stop coming to the park, or lose state-provided tax incentives, there's comparatively little they can do.". . .
