For the first time, Disney is seeking damages in the state court case initiated by the governor's handpicked oversight board.

In the case initiated by the board of supervisors picked by DeSantis to oversee Walt Disney World’s special tax district, the entertainment giant on Thursday filed a series of counterclaims, including for breach of contract and violations of the Florida constitution over its due process and free speech rights. It moved for damages and an order forcing the district to comply with the terms of the development agreements.

What do you call a tycoon who is virulently anti-communist and anti-labor and anti-union? I mean that's a fascist right? Pretty clearly.

Even Walt's living niece today (heiress even) has said her great uncle was borderline fascist, and a racist, and an antisemite. Had the Nazis come to America Walt would've gladly given them a personal tour of his park before swearing allegiance. Whatever it took to keep his money. That's not coincidentally the same reason big money always backs fascism.

What I'm saying is, they're the same picture. Disney and DeSantis are just competing angles of the same philosophy. Disney was happy with DeSantis policies right up until he wanted to affect their bottom line. That was too much. That's always been the line for them. Always will be.
