because of di esantis fight to win this presidency, now we re paying the price. that s not pro business. it s not smart. and it s not just with disney. w we see this across the board. the permitless carry which allows you to hold any gun, any place. banning abortion of six weeks. this is what we ve seen from this governor because he s more interested in running for president than running the state of florida. let me also get your reaction to what s going on in the debt ceiling talks underway right now between the president and republican leadership in the house and is senate. in the president were to compromise when it comes to the issue of work requirements, how would that impact your decision? i think it impacts it a lot. i think the president should stick to what he said before. not negotiating on the programs that americans depend on. it s snap.
one. as you mentioned, 2000 jobs are involved. this was going to be a move that was going to happen over the course of several years. some people have moved to florida but now the employees get to stay in southern california. those who have already moved to florida, the chairman said, that they would work with those individual cases to see if they d like to stay there or in some cases, move back here to burbank and los angeles area. now, this comes as the chairman also says in this memo that they are firmly committed to this florida flag ship resort. they intend to invest $17 billion and add 13,000 jobs in this next ten years, but wolf thrks also comes on the same day they announced they are shutting down the star wars galactic star cruiser there at that resort. a very premium experience that s only been open for a year. how is the desantis team responding to this news? right. well, a spokesperson from his
