    These guys are so fucking stupid. Almost ever single Community Development District in Florida has a line item on its budget for funding additional security from either off duty Sheriff’s Deputies, State Troopers, or private security. In my county at least, deputies are about $45/hour and you can hire them in 4 hour shifts. Participation by the deputies is entirely optional for them and in addition to their normal duties. Troopers are more expensive, around $80/hr if my memory is right, plus they charge an extra hour for the drive.

    This is all to say that what Disney is doing with this budget line is entirely normal and mundane. They’re acting like Disney is wasting money because their hillbilly voters don’t know any better and don’t care to learn.

    What a coward. Anyone that supports this crime against humanity should be shamed.

      Should be. Won’t be. They’re only ashamed of the things their fascist leaders tell them to be ashamed of.

      Right wing ideology is and always has been based on maintaining control of the poor and working class, oppressing “undesirables” in order to further that control, and maintaining the power of the ruling class. In the case of Disney they are attempting to further marginalize the groups they have deemed “undesirable” by publicly attacking a member of the ruling class that is not pushing the party’s agenda as fervently as they want it to.

    Disney should just close the Florida parks until these laws are reversed. Florida has cheap taxes thanks to tourism.
