Universal is Granted A Special Tax District For Epic Universe

What happens when they build Harry Potter's World of Wokecraft?

 

There will be no need for that. Universal is run by business people, not woke, virtue signaling ideologues like the Rat. Universal knows what this district means to them from a financial standpoint and will not do anything stupid to screw it up. Their own taxing district saves them $M’s and lets them determine how the money is spent. These deals are a gold mine for companies.

Disney was foolish to screw themselves like they did.

This proves little to nothing. Every company has a PR dept and most show the love to all segments of society.
Disney is in another league. Like Target they went big into got that area.

 

He said they weren't woke virtue signalers

 

Yes, everyone knows there are no actual rules, just the whims of DeSantis and the people that follow his lead

 

What's worse, donating a bunch of money to LGBT causes, or sending a beer with their picture on it to a LGBT person? Hmmmmm

 

It seems having a pride section one month a year to make money is the gravest offense of all

 

Universal extended pride month!!!!! For shame

 

No.

 

You think Universal is woke? I say they are behaving like a normal corp.
Disney is over the top imo.

 

You're probably right, because the term "Woke" has been so watered down and neutered by the right that I really don't even know what it means anymore. I mean, energy saving practices are labeled "woke." Green M&Ms are "Woke."

 

It’s like the state goes out of their way to create Disney’s litigation record

 

Having an investment portfolio that includes sustainable energy rather than fossil fuels is woke

 

That's one hell of a shifting of responsibility. Disney used its free speech rights to speak out on a political issue. Ron DeSantis and his cronies retaliated against them for doing that. Disney didn't "screw themselves." The Republican freedom-haters in our government screwed them. If you think that's an appropriate response to free speech, well, I understand why you vote Republican.

 

I'd argue its random who right wingers get mad at and for what. Universals activities look very similar to Disney's. Cancel culture at its finest.

 

Yeah, its more of a matter of profile not some imaginary line of going too far. Lots of corporations put out statements against 'Don't Say Gay,' many of them were more strongly worded too. But Disney is a bigger fish than say, a professional women's soccer team.
