You mean does the governor of Florida have the right to revoke a sweet heart deal special privilege to a company that allows the company near autonomy within the borders of their state? Please let me know what your guess is based on that you think Disney can prevail in this instance? Corporations are people too? Are you at all familiar with Delta losing millions in tax breaks after criticizing the GA government? https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2021/04/01/georgia-house-passes-bill-stripping-delta-of-a-multimillion-tax-break-after-it-slammed-the-states-new-voting-restrictions/?sh=34cb033f4a42
Quote:Yeah, that statement was pretty mild IMO, especially since no action took place to follow up on it.
Goal post moving. You said the statement was mild. Stating the equivalent of we will do everything in our power to defeat it does not strike me as mild, nor would it to a reasonable person. Preceding action is not a prerequisite to determine the severity of the statement, hence the accurate accusation of goal post moving on your part.
