it isn t surprising that they would restructure their business operations and cancel unsuccessful ventures. so, that is from desantis s team. again, leaning into this fight. and really, where this all stems from, it is going way back now, back to 2020, 2021, when desantis obviously, culture wars the big thing that he leans into, a lot of this has to do with him railing against wokeness, thinking that disney is promoting thinks that children should not be learning about, similar to what he talks about learning in the classrooms. and it also goes to disney having their own little tax island in florida, something that he is very against and finds to be unfair. and it really is coming to a head today, and we saw that with disney deciding that they are going to close this down. one other thing that i will point out, though, just on the disney side of it is i was talking with our colleague
steve who have been following this case very closely, and we were saying that we think a lot of this is also disney scapegoating desantis for this. so they really were not going to go through the office building? that s what it appeared to be. they fired their old ceo last year and this was kind of his project, and then bob iger is back in his chief executive and he has been against this project for a long time, and so, i think some of this is really being able to use the politics with desantis and the animosity between disney and florida, or florida republicans i should say, as a way to sort of slightest with how political it is, part of this decision. a bigger picture, i cannot imagine this helps. he did well with the do not say gay stuff and got to support together down there, but going after just the business spend the money alone, how big disney is for florida, i cannot imagine that most floridians think that this is a really great idea.
