Disney also employs a lot of LGBTQ employees who were quite understandably really pissed at DeSantis. There's a line to be toed between "public liberal good boy points" for PR and the benefits of self governance, and I think Disney made a decent compromise.


Its certainly an interesting case study (as someone being trained for an executive position), I think about it a lot.

You are really fucked as an Executive here. You're social activists employees will undermine and subvert you. Florida will use State power against you. Maybe the Federal government might intervene in your space, but they probably won't care.

My conclusion and many executives at my firm is target the social activists for layoffs. I've combed thru so many social media profiles in preparation for next restructuring/layoffs at my firm.

Just can't risk it in the current economy. The general feeling is the economy is going to get worse before it gets better.


This response makes logical sense, but it deepens my hatred of capitalism. Activists who oppose losing their human rights to a proto-fascist governor are silenced by a company because they're getting in the way of profits, the number one priority for any company or individual. Morally terrible.

Yes, I suppose I do sound like a "woke moralist".


I don't think you really hate capitalism. You hate people on the other side of your beliefs.

I think capitalism is whats keeping the tenuous peace right now.

Afterall the market research shows roughly 50% of americans think Desantis is on the right track. If that's the case half the country thinks you are a "fascist" or "villian". Without capitalism, you'd probably be living in an America that would have been far more to the right.


I consider myself a socialist. I'm not sure what capitalism has to do with keeping the peace though, or what it has to do with DeSantis (who follows early patterns of fascism MUCH more closely)
