It is almost as if there are consequences to our actions.

They did not consider that the GOP select committee isn't about handouts to civil employees?

Oh look! It's the consequences of my actions!

Firefighters in Wisconsin supported the Governor that put in act 10, which destroyed their union and cut their pay. Macho bs
dripstone
what my actions have consequences?

Oh no...anyway.

I love that my phone autocorrects his name to “descent is”

Why would they want to go to Disney in the first place though? Don't they hate it?
joinha
No, they love the park. They just don't want "different people" to enjoy it as well
Rpgjgb
Free theme park passes means they can enjoy all the benefits of a massive entertainment complex AND complain about it being woke AND still have the "moral high ground" since they didn't pay to go there.

Has anyone who chose to support a GOP scumbag ever *not* regretted it down the line? You'd think they'd learn.
JugsMugsLadybugs
DeSantis got married at Disney! He doesn't have loyalty to anything but his own ignorant selfish aims. Money, power, GOP. No humanity.

I guess, that's the "find out" part …

That mouse don't play especially at his park!
AnythingMuchShorter
Maybe running as the "business and jobs" governor and on a platform of "fuck your feelings" and then spending all his time attacking his states biggest source of revenue over entirely non-practical, emotional reasons wasn't a good idea? Nah.

Firefighters are not always the sharpest tools in the shed. Source: I am one of those tools.

They are the simplest tools, right? ;-)

Wasn't Disney, it was DeSantis's board.

The article doesn’t talk about this as a Disney retaliation, but as a budget cut. Maybe I’m not reading between the lines, but the headline is quite misleading.
Euchre
The reality is Disney was handed a reason to take this 'budget cut'. Had the RCFD fought to keep the RCID, Disney might've bit the bullet and kept providing those passes. Remember, just getting into the park doesn't mean they can't make money - eating in the parks, souvenirs, Genie+ and Lightning Lane purchases, PhotoPass. There's a ton of ways Disney can make money after giving that 'free' pass to the parks.
moxythree
Good points.
somethingwentwrongwiththis
The old board was paying Disney for annual passes. So they were just giving money to Disney. Also, frak Desantis.
polarbearbaby
The Desantis board replaced the Disney board & the Desantis board axed the benefits.
moxythree
Thanks. I need more coffee today. I knew that.

Me too. Bottoms up!

The article link says the district plans to “gross up” all employee wages. I know Karma would be great, but the reality seems to be that they are just going to a cash benefit instead of perks that less than half the employees utilized. (Assuming you believe the claims from the district PR person)
RobertBunda
Yeah, it’s enough for a year pass for a single person, whereas it sounds like entire families got to go. Hell, the story says it was a retirement benefit as well.
Wylt
They don’t even know if it will equal a cash value of the perks though and said as much. It’s literally a “well fuckit here’s 20 bucks, good luck going to disneyland”
Jackpot7777777
This isn’t a Disney action. It’s Disney’s reaction to Republican overreach. DeSantis started all of this, never forget that. If you don’t start shit, you don’t get hit.
remaker
“If you run up, you gonna get done up.”
BigDaddysMeatWagon
Disney didn't do it at all. This was the board who pays for the passes deciding it can just remove that benefit.
LegoMnementh
It isn't even a Disney reaction, it is the NEW board not wanting to pay Disney for the passes. Not sure what they expected to happen, but this seems obvious and inevitable.
diesel01
They expected the new board to force Disney to continue providing perks & benefits.
SlickWithaLimerick
They should ban Desantis from the park, just for shits and giggles.
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
This isn't even a Disney reaction, AFAIK. This new board is DeSantis, and they're stopping direct payments of the government to Disney (to cover the annual passes they were offering). Disney may or may not be losing money on this, but I doubt they care - it'd be miniscule.
nopo
Its likwly the passes were actually losing them money, depending on what they covered.
Harik
no it's not, it's the state refusing to continue to pay for the comp passes that reedy creek always has.
wardenda
MagnorCriol
The best part is, if you read the article, it's not even Disney at all. It's Rhonda's new board that he installed to try and beat the Mouse that decided to stop getting the passes. Disney had nothing to do with it.

If we are talking about conservatives here, it won't matter what the reality is. They are not capable of comprehending a reality where democrats aren't to blame for their every pain and inconvenience. On a vin diagram, the overlap of religious fanatics, conservatives, and absolute morons is just a circle.
