    You’re talking about the same idiot who used to take girls to Thai restaurants on dates and then dump them if they ever corrected him for pronouncing it “thigh food”.

    Desantis is literally only out to get as many conservative votes as he can and he won’t let anything as trivial as facts, logic, reason, or even basic human decency stop him.

      Doesn’t this just kick out the on-the-fence conservatives, making them want to vote the other side, third party or not vote? It sounds so stupid.

    If you think he’s mad now, wait until Disney leaves Florida and all the old people in Tampa die of easily preventable illnesses. He’ll be stuck trying to figure out how to appeal to Cuban expats in Miami and the two ‘Pub cousinfuckers left at FSU.

      Disney isn’t leaving Florida. Even in their worst case scenario, WDW is going to be ridiculously profitable.

      What’s more likely is they pull out as many non WDW assets as they reasonably can.

        Why leave when they can just wait him out? But I’d bet the mouse pays way more attention to politics in the future and tries to make sure chucklefucks like Rhonda Sand Tits don’t get elected in the future.

        They will transition elsewhere. Florida is no longer a friendly and profitable state and others will throw their hats in the ring quickly

          I think you heavily underestimate how much they have invested into WDW and how much it brings in.

              You’re right, they’re just going to abandon the theme park that brought in over $25B last year. My bad.

        The #1 retirement state in the country now is Pennsylvania. Even a lot of elderly people know that they won’t live as long in Florida.

    From the article:

    Legal experts say any such suit would have virtually no chance of success, given serious jurisdictional, procedural and substantive problems.

    On the substantive point: These kinds of shareholder suits are typically brought when members of a corporate board engage in self-dealing or fail in an oversight duty when the corporation has seriously violated the law. In this case, AB InBev merely made a (completely legal) marketing decision, in an attempt to expand its customer base. The strategy might have backfired — again, because of the anti-trans animus of people such as DeSantis — but that doesn’t mean the board somehow breached its fiduciary duty
