I am pretty sure it's not a "loophole" to go, "oh, you passed a new law affecting our business? Well, our business just ruled that it doesn't count, no takesies backsies."
I mean, if they get their rule in first, yeah it does. I'll make it simple.
DeSantis announces his plans to take Reedy Creek
The Reedy Creek board on their last day of Disnependence publicly change what the Reedy Creek board has access to, giving a bunch back to Disney and barring the board's use of Disney iconography going forward
DeSantis doesn't notice and takes control of the Reedy Creek board anyway, which now has vastly diminished power.
If there had been enough, or even one person at the public meeting the day before the DeSantis signing there on DeSantis' behalf who objected to the changes, they could have at least stalled the board's process for 24 hours until Ronny took control. But for whatever reason, he didn't have someone dedicated to watching every movement Disney made, so he missed it.
Disney gets to keep doing their thing at least for however long the legal challenges take (years), and dominate a news cycle by leaning on their flair for the dramatic and royal.
Laws are not passed in perpetuity. They can be changed. The only absolute governing contract is the Constitution which can be changed by using the rules therein. Check the in perpetuity contract we had on the Panama canal. The Florida legislature can change this.
Eminent domain gets used for bull crap all the time; whenever a city decides it will get more tax revenue from a place if the ownership changes, they go and change the owner at the point of a gun...
(And it seems like Disney is getting way too many tax breaks, isn't there anyone else who can run a theme park?)
The treaty of paris says specifically that England has no jurisdiction over the land in America. So I don't understand what is actually happening. How could something like this actually be?
England continues to have no jurisdiction over America. In America, contracts cannot be made in perpetuity, there must be some sort of end date. But the end date doesn't have to be a specific date, it could be based on a variable, such as when someone has died. After all, wills operate on the same principle for when they begin to go into effect - so other types of contracts can use similar equations for their expiration dates.
However, because our legal system was created before the internet and really mass media of any type, there are clauses about notability. You can't make a contract that expires when your pal Frank dies, because in the 19th century that would be a very difficult thing to prove, or even hear about in the first place. This is where the Royal clause comes in, because Royals are someone everyone was aware of (and if not, that information was easily accessed by lawyers), and their death constituted a change in government. So, something big and noticable that everyone can agree upon.
Also, our law system is directly cribbed from the English system, and is very precedent-heavy, so you get weird shit like this baked-in.
Disney was 8.50 when they opened. Now its 109-189 for the pedos to groom your kids. Orlando's economy is built around theme park tourism and the State and Counties rake in mega bucks, they won't do anything...
$8.50 just to get in; you had to buy separate tickets for each ride. Remember E-ticket rides?
Anyway, Orlando has a lot more than the mouse at this point. If they used the human trafficking EO to seize the property, or heck, eminent domain, and gave it over to be run for actual decent profit without all the tax breaks, Florida could probably lower its insane hotel taxes...
Revoke their liquor license, since that is issued by the state. That would kill them financially. No longer maintain the roads (Highways) going into the parks.
Road maintenance is one of the few things the newly neutered board has access to/is responsible for. If they fail to maintain those roads they open themselves up for lawsuits, especially from some Disney-friendly company that delivers goods there.
That's so cute. Like the government doesn't ever take what they want when they want. If they wanted that property bad enough nothing Disney could ever do would stop them.
No problem, just cut the roads and utilities going to Disney world.
Exactly what I was thinking.
"Welcome to the Mickey Mouse Nuclear Reactor huh-huh!"
Probably install an international airport too
Disney World will become like the Vatican.
Send me it already was
Or just stop going. :)
Pretty sure America had a war some time back in the day about whether or not we give two halves of one shit about Laws regarding English Royalty.
If I remember correctly, the war ended with a decisive "Nope."
exactly. I think the governor can have the national guard take care of the problem
I am pretty sure it's not a "loophole" to go, "oh, you passed a new law affecting our business? Well, our business just ruled that it doesn't count, no takesies backsies."
Pretty much this, let’s see the response from Florida
Can the roads be blocked? Surely a month or two will bankrupt them.
Yes... As if government has ever even cared about these arrangements anyway.
I mean, if they get their rule in first, yeah it does. I'll make it simple.
It would be fantastic if there were an EO stating that any company or entity participating in human trafficking gets their property seized ...
Yeah, if only there were a real patriot president that wanted to save the children that signed an EO like that, that's still in effect.
Ron, you’ve been phuqued by the Mouse. After your butt heals, I’m betting you slow your roll.
How DeSappointing
That was artistic as fuck.
Fuck yes, OP, wonderful work. I saw this and thought, "Well, I'll just put this up on GAW" and came to find it already posted. NICE. Frogs in control.

Or DeSantis knew this and it was all and act...
when was this stuff about Charles & his descendants written up? Yesterday? Or has it always been there in some vault under Space Mountain?
That was ALWAYS known, tho. We suspected some loophole is the reason the story was buried AND Disney didn't flip their lid over it.

That which was done with a vote and the swipe of a pen can be undone with a vote and the swipe of a pen.

Yeah, you got a book of tickets then had to buy extra...

It's essentially a rewording of a perpetuity clause and pretty sure it shouldn't hold up long, if at all
