Desantis seeks to punish Disney for disagreeing with him

They like free speech if it suits their agenda. Otherwise, they seek revenge however it suits them.

 

Hopefully Trump ends up in prison where he belongs. DeSantis will only fuel the anti-gay hate and bigotry.

 

Ya we should pass laws that make it illegal for corporations to discuss issues outside their profit motive. Like it!

You always enlighten us with your free speech advocacy.

 

Yes. It's confusing and also inaccurate. Disney employees work, spend money, pay taxes, and have children in the schools.

Disney felt it was good for morale and probably business to voice their disapproval. So the bill does have an effect on them.

 

Disney does not work for its employees. Disney's employees work for Disney

 

We should make it illegal if it's the other way around. Like it!

 

1. DeSantis has admitted that it is retaliation. He expressed that. Because you believe it to be something else either in part or in full doesn't change the claim that it is a punishment for opposing policy.

2. It is an attempt at censorship. To claim that because they haven't been de-platformed they haven't been censored is not accurate. If the government were to fine individuals for opposition but still allow them to say what they wanted, it would still be an act of censorship.

3. This is genuine censorship and actually carried out by actual governmental powers.

4. Government rewarding or punishing businesses is one thing. Rewarding or punishing because of the company's expressed opinion about a policy is something else.

This is the same government leader that was in favor of the beneficial status previously but decided to revoke it based on their opposition to his policy.

I'm not guessing that's why he did it or simply making an educated guess that's why he did it. I'm saying he did it to punish them because that's what he claimed.

 

This is the most anti American thing to say... Well you likely voted for someone who hates America so no surprise. And yeah you will defend a company that also hates American values....

 

Gotta be less obvious with your parody dude.

 

Good try at trolling.....

 

Ah the counter "I'm not trolling, you are". I like it.

 

There is nothing American about voting for a traitor and coup leader like Trump. Typical response from someone who thinks that psychopath gives a damn about you or this country. Trump is out for himself and nobody else.

How American are you?
Did you serve this country? I did.
I served 20 years.

Oh, by the way, I voted for Trump the first time until I realized all he valued was himself and his ego. Biggest mistake of my life. The coup showed his true colors, and they were not red, white, and blue like his souvenirs he sells. He is no Patriot, and nobody in his family ever served in the military either. They were all raised on silver spoons and learned the art of the con from a young age.

If you think Disney doesn't have American values then I can't change your opinion but it certainly isn't fact. The fact is there are millions of people in this country who aren't heterosexuals, but that certainly doesn't make them less American or less of a person than you.There will always be haters but thank God for Americans and companies who don't sit back and watch the hate and approve of it.

 

Employers should support their employees. It helps with morale and productivity.

 

So....I don't want to put words in your mouth. Are you saying that companies shouldn't fight on behalf of their employees?

Companies don't have a responsibility to their employees?

 

no, I am not saying that

 

You certainly don’t seem to understand first amendment rights. Private citizens have the right to speak out against CFA. I have the right to post on social media that I think CFA is too political and their chicken contains ingredients you wouldn’t feed your dog because it’s so bad for you. That’s a first amendment right.

You also have the first amendment right to not watch Dr. Strange 2 and please… for the love of God everyone boycott going to Disney world June 9-14th.

But that has nothing to do with THE STATE taking action to punish CFA for taking a political stance on something by revoking tax status, etc. However the state does have laws that allows for prosecuting discriminatory actions. Am I missing something or was Disney discriminating against their workers illegally? And why would Florida revoke their tax status instead of just prosecuting them for discrimination crimes committed???

Your apples and oranges post here makes little sense other than you are bending over backwards to try and cover for Ron DeSantis and seem to be openly supporting fascism… which what DeSantis is engaging in openly.

Your last point is hilarious and really says it all about your true position. “Oh I actually really support an open fascist but I just don’t support this one fascist thing he did, but at the same time I’m going to whine about you voicing a problem with said fascist action… so really I’m still always supporting fascism even if it’s indirectly.”

 

The article : 'as if they purposely want to invite a court fight and to lose'

 

And not lost in this... while the company Disney was speaking out against this law and supported employees, families of employees, and its customers... the CEO of Disney spoke out against this law. desantis was not only taking away Disney's freedom of speech, but an individual citizen's as well. Clearly a violation of constitutional rights and a great test of whether our Constitution actually means anything anymore.
