Disney kills 2K Florida jobs in DeSantis fight

Disney had planned to build the campus about 20 miles from the giant Walt Disney World

@kbindependent That headline is a bit misleading. Most of those jobs would have been existing jobs relocating from California.

2,000 Average 120k a year jobs would have brought a ton to Florida. Except for Republican Hate and Bigotry.

@Susan_Larson_TN Good on Disney but even as a huge fan I don’t want to give them too much credit. There was pushback on the Lake Nona move from the start and signs in recent months that they were going to reverse course. At the very least they’re taking the opportunity to make a pointed statement at Florida/DeSantis and I wouldn’t be surprised if other announcements happen in the future like delaying park expansions.
