Firefighters confronted DeSantis' governing board on Wednesday. “The removal of this benefit takes away, for some, their entire reason for working here."

Orange County, where Disney World is located, went for the D candidate 53-46. Don't blame them for the malignant human tumor their state foisted on them.

But Disney themselves donated plenty to R candidates for years. The state and its inhabitants are finding out what that gets you.

I’ve spent far more time in the sunshine state than i ever would wish on anyone, Im not saying everyone in the state is brainwashed but there are plenty of people who cheer on as their state is imploding.

We have to acknowledge that Republicans have lots to offer if you're a mega corp.

  1. They pick up the phone for you and your lobbyists - day or night
  2. They lower your tax burden
  3. They functionally killed unionization - allowing you to pay your executives enormous sums of money while the majority of your workforce struggles financially.
  4. If you're somehow unable to outright buy their legislative agenda with bribes campaign donations, they can instead be forced to comply with subtle threats to leak details of their various homosexual escapades to the media.
  5. They tend to have absolutely no morals - which is great for your shareholders.

But you see, Disney made the mistake of going woke. How dare they cast non-white or any gay characters in anything. Next they'll tell us women should be able to vote. It's a slippery slope.

Blame the 46, yes. That is still atrociously high.

True, but I bet you that the 53 isn't able to do much about that 46. At least nothing that fits in the bounds of a civil democracy.

Wait, Disney world is also in a county called Orange? That's pretty funny, I never knew that

Yeah, Orlando is Orange county. Florida was the largest producer in the U.S. California is recently passing them up due to issues. Between the two it something like 95% of all the citrus grown in the U.S.

That said, if you want a sweeter, juicier orange, get an orange from Florida. If you want a longer shelf life orange, go with California.

Lol it’s come out the fire department endorsed desantis. Just thought you would like to know.
