DeSantis-controlled Disney World district abolishes diversity, equity initiatives - eviltoast

    Yes because surely antagonizing the company that employs the most of your constituents by quite a large margin can only end well.

      They’re the single largest employer. They don’t employ most of his constituents.

      That said, Florida relies on tourism to keep the state budget afloat. Disney is a big part of that.
