Disney has lost $50 billion in value since war with Florida began

[HKSig]

Same rumor went through NTX back in 00's.

There was a scammer in north Texas who said Disney was going to come to north Texas (they weren't). The people he scammed lost ~$8 million dollars; he was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison.
Interesting that the story is in the Montgomery County Police Reporter.

FBI: Disney Resort Scam Victims in Texas Didn’t smell a rat

Thomas W. Lucas, Jr. convinced more than 250 investors that Disney had plans to build a resort approximately 50 miles north of Dallas. The claim was fake, and Lucas was sent to prison for fraud. 01/19

I think I heard the "Disney is coming to southeast Texas" story too.

Wow did not know that part of the story. I just heard it from a Real Estate Developer.

The North Texas 'stories' all seem to revolve around scammers.
The Montgomery County story was that they'd already purchased upwards of 25,000 acres when the project was canceled - no scam. It's known they used a number of shell companies to buy the land in Florida, they would have likely done the same anywhere else.
There was a LARGE tract advertised via billboard, I believe in excess of 25,000 acres, several years ago. How many tracts that large have sold in Montgomery County in the last quarter-century?

All I want for Christmas is a bankrupt Netflix and Disney.

I’d settle for a non-woke Disney.

Giggle......

"the company relented and came out in full-throated opposition to the legislation...."

 

[Lonesome Dove]

Not a religious man but I'll definitely
pray that they lose more than just billions $$$$$.

 

[Roscoe]

Losing $50B is a good start, but I hope they get much more serious in their losing in the very near future!!!

The Fl bill to remove Disney jurisdiction is really funny. They are arguing that the counties must absorb the bond payments of Disney as the counties assume the assets of the area - so that would include Disney properties? As well as the debt? Would be sweet as they then could charge Disney with rent!! Yes the whole Disney deal was just lining the Dems pockets from the beginning. Place stank when I took my kids yrs ago. Universal was a little better.

finally conservatives dishing some out instead of just taking it

I was looking forward to the upcoming Marvel movies... So sorry Disney!

It is amazing how a few bad apples can destroy a company.

If they pull Song of the South out of the vault, I'll buy a copy.

Last I heard, they were intentionally not enforcing copyright violations so they wouldn't have to defend it in court - there were copies around for sale, it's been released internationally where they don't have American sensitivities.

I bought one a few years ago. Somewhere or other that I don't remember.

$187 to $111 per share Which is 66% of the value 6 months ago. It is just amazing how a single verbal employee can destroy a billion dollar company.
A decade ago I bought my wife a single share certificate for $12/share. It ended up being a good purchase.
The new Dr. Strange movie is doing well, but would have rushed to see it and now I could care less…

I’m hoping a lesson has been learned, and companies think twice before clamoring to virtue-signal the newest woke bullshit.

Is Fort Bend County blue or Red

We just went blue a couple of years ago. This county judge is an absolute clown.

**** disney parks. i hope they go broke. putting aside their politics they suck your hard earned money like leeches at their parks. everything is crazy expensive and now it costs on average $8k to take a family of 4 to disney for few days.

Also they pay their employees minumum wages with bad medical plan. so basically corporate greed at his best selling kids fantasy.

latest analysis by a person who took his family there

Has the cost of Disney World become unaffordable for the average American family?

Visiting Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, has been a must-do for generations in many American families, but some visitors say the experience now costs so much that it might soon be reserved for only the wealthy.
