DeSantis Calls for End of Walt Disney World’s Self-Rule

Heaven help us if this man ever becomes POTUS…

Any contention that DeSantis is eliminating some sort of “special treatment” for Disney comes with it the perhaps mistaken assumption that the two counties suddenly in charge of all of this infrastructure will somehow make the park better and not worse. In reality, putting Disney parks at the mercy of two different counties with different laws will be a huge mess for everybody involved, and that’s the point. It’s not about what’s fair or what’s best for the citizens in the area. It’s about punishing political foes and centralizing government power (a very nonconservative approach) to do so.

… but of course, there is no heaven and the universe doesn’t care about what we humans get up to…
