Consider for a moment, the ridiculous image of a football team that could never play offense, or a baseball team that never came to bat. You wouldn't expect those teams to ever win a game, because while defense is important, it doesn't put points on the board. Consider that metaphor for a while.
The Democrats don't mind winning. They put points on the board all the time. The latest kerfuffle over Disney is the best example. Disney decided to get out of the entertainment business and get into politics, led by the woke mobsters. The Florida legislature is pushing back, hard. Disney is abut to lose their special governance district, potentially costing the millions of dollars per year. Some squishy Republicans are saying that this move is vindictive retaliation. No, it's not. It's politics. Disney would have been fine if they had not ventured into the world where lots of people see them as a threat to the children.
We have been playing defense long enough. It's time to play offense. It's not enough to simply stop the woe mob. It's a play right out of the Obama White House. Punch back twice as hard.
Worked at the mouse for 2 years after retirement. Intended part-time but ended up full time. Loved the job (luxury resort front desk), the guests, well, 95% of them, but mgt comes from within. It's a form of corporate incest. Nary a new idea enter.
ReplyDeleteI still live 15 min from any of their parks and haven't been there in several years with no intent to return. However it shakes out I am NOT in favor of special treatment for businesses, especially on the scale as has been granted Disney in the past.
One of the understood conditions of those special districts is to keep their noses out of the things that no longer concern them. I have no issue with their specialness being revoked if they're gonna get involved in politics.
