So a more serious talk. As a corporation I can't see why anyone would willingly invest capital in Florida, when you have a government that is willing to pass legislation to punish companies at the whim of a governor. While Texas hasn't started down this road it is certainly a risk with politicians like Abbot.

It is hard to leave once you're there, but are people really going to want to invest significant long term capital in a place where the government might try to personally punish your company.

Would incentives like these be worth the risk that operating in these states have to your workers and capital investments?

I hate DeSantis with a passion but Disney shouldn't have and doesn't need to be their own autonomous zone. Corporations already run the government through lobbying they don't need to literally be the governing body of a region.
