Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It really isn't. Disney are a big corporation, and corpos gonna corpo, but Disney does at least pull its weight in some ways that most modern politicians seem incapable of. Meanwhile, the whole region, perhaps even the whole state, is circling the drain taking innocent people with them.
It's not like Disney is any sort of a malicious actor in this.
i agree with disney being better than ron desantis, he sucks and you’re completely right that he’s wrecking the state.
the statement
is untrue, though. the way disney world is run is notoriously bad for employees. here are some articles on the topic.
these are the sorts of things they’ve done with the control they’ve had over disney world. they haven’t “put employees above all else” like the person in the article said they did.
Yeah, Disney's no peach in all this, lest we forget, among other greasy shit, DisneyCorp tried to trademark the phrase "Dia de los Muertos" in order to sell movie merchandise.
That first article, the most recent one, says the unions successfully negotiated a $15 an hour minimum wage - well above the state and federal levels. The other articles seem to be leading up to that $15 an hour minimum. The argument now is that this is not enough because of soaring living costs, which neither Disney nor the unions could have predicted.
Like I say, corpos gonna corpo, but really Disney is far from the worst when it comes to that. They're shittier than they should be, but they're also a little unusual in that the penny pinchers generally know not to squeeze too hard, else it will hinder their long term profits.
