    How do you know that this is because of DeSantis? Disney is having to layoff 7000 people so why would they pour money into a new building at the same time that they are trying to save $5.5 Billion? The story is a nothing burger.

    Liberal states had the worst responses and were quick to blame everyone else. Trump literally sent a hospital ship to New York harbor that sat empty. This was a pandemic that largely affected the elderly, and nothing was done to protect them. NY was literally packing the homes with Covid patients. If Trump's response was so bad, why did so many more die under Biden with a less lethal variant, AND A VACCINE.

    If it was a conservative company they would be respecting the families.

    The fact that MAGAs can't debate without making up nonsense proves my point.

    Here are the 20 states with the worst death rate.
    Oklahoma 158.8
    Alabama 152.8
    Texas 151.4
    West Virginia 146.8
    Mississippi 146.3
    Wyoming 143.4
    Tennessee 142.5
    Nevada 141.6
    Arizona 139.5
    South Carolina 139.2
    Kentucky 136.7
    New Mexico 136.3
    Georgia 135.9
    Arkansas 127.7
    Ohio 122.8
    Louisiana 116.9
    Idaho 112.3
    Florida 111.7
    Alaska 109.5
    Montana 108.8

    Of course, they ALL had to deal with Trump's incompetent response. So it's not totally their fault.

    Florida has become hostile.

    In order to pander to the fringe, DeSantis has made the State hostile to others. Some groups have even issued a travel advisory to Florida, which seems extreme on their part, but shows the sentiment some people have about hos policies.

    LOL. No, you bought social media hoax. Heh

    Asking gays to keep their lifestyle in their bedroom is not calling for eradication.

    I agree and will say this goes both ways, if companies go far right and tailor marketing to far right, it will turn off a portion of the population that could be customers. What's funny about the left is they feel going far right would hurt businesses but can't recognize that going far left will do the same. Business 101, be a political!!!

    Well, business certainly needs to "read the room". And that's something they should already understand.

    Agreed. I have seen everything in business based on what I used to do. I am more of an analyst and can see the numbers in that business. The one conclusion I can come up with is business owners know how to do one thing, to sell or produce what they are selling/making. Everything else, they do the best they can. Some use other businesses to help manage hiring, payroll, etc. and there are sophisticated software from which a business can be analyzed.

    you are not discussing reality. You are advocating your myopic alternative world fantasy. 99% of the small business owners I know and have interacted with professionally would disagree with you wholeheartedly in what you are saying. But the reality is those investors look at everything, and politics is not even on the radar. When it comes to Disney and any other publicly traded corporaiton, the major investors control the board, who controls the strategic direction of the corporation. And that is the reality. So, they were the ones who agreed in the beginning with certain directions. Now that did not work out, and sometimes it does not, then they will change. But it has nothing to do with "woke" or whatever you are discussing.

    What lies. You described yourself that way some 7 years ago on this very forum. And yes, you were proud of it at that time, like it was a budge of honor. All you are doing is some kind of "stolen valor" when it comes to business because most business operators, some 99% don't react that way or think the way they do, and most of them are conservative economically, and somewhat liberal socially with most of them being Christian. to me, you are just another Kenneth Copeland or male version of Elizabeth Holmes.

    The other thing, you are only a legend in your own mind here Blues. You are free to disagree with me just as I am free to disagree with you. But generally speaking, you don't know what you are talking about when it comes to certain taxation. I can almost guarantee your personal tax return is probably some 10 pages long. That is not complicated. YOu don't deal with subpart F income, international taxation and tax treaties, certain disclosure statements, and so forth. So, don't give me that deal. I have had plenty of experience that goes beyond using a tax software or professionals who are only there to fill out your tax returns and keep you happy. There is an art and science in doing that, and you are no different. But in the end, I can assure you that they laugh behind your back with your statements and opinions.

    Lines up 100% with obesity rates by state. Nothing to do with Covid mandate enthusiasm. https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/prevalence-maps.html

    Thank goodness for Michelle Obama!

    What it does NOT line up with is with your original false statement that liberal states had the worst response.

    But, much to the chagrin of binary thinkers, this is not binary. Unmasked, unvaccinated obese people who refuse to keep social distancing have a higher likelihood of dying of Covid than fit vaccinated people who follow the scientific guidelines. If you want a general rule, the conclusion would appear to show that MAGAs have a higher death rate from Covid than normal Americans.

    However your original false claim has been debunked and you are now running away from it. For further education on the topic there is a whole Covid forum where all of this is explained to you in detail. This thread is about how Florida's Fascist In Chief is driving businesses away from the state.
