"Report From First-Ever Audit Shows How Much Power Disney Had in Central Florida".
Once the land belonged to Disney, the company had to figure out a way to achieve its goals — including Walt's dream of a city of the future — without tangling in red tape. So Disney decided to take advantage of a Florida law that allowed for the creation of special improvement districts for certain projects. The legislature passed the measure, and the Reedy Creek Improvement District was born.
Walt Disney died before RCID became a reality, and his futuristic city dream died with him. However, the company maintained that the city idea was still on the table, so it essentially operated RCID for over five decades based on false pretenses.
I think there were obviously some very good reasons for reining Disney in that had nothing to do with the company's increasingly woke ideology.
What fascinates me is that the hard anti-capitalist left is shilling as hard as they can in favor of Disney. But given that these same anti-corporate revolutionaries previously shilled for Pfizer and Moderna it's nothing new.
ReplyDeleteExit question, boys and girls: which variety of socialism is characterized by government/corporate partnerships? Hint: it was very popular among progressives in the early to mid Twentieth Century as a statist alternative to Communism.
Disney took taxpayer money for improvements in the RCID which were never done. I think we call that fraud, don't we?
