Over the last two years, Governor Ron DeSantis has been at war with Disney.
When Disney started pushing a woke agenda, DeSantis went after protections the company has enjoyed since its inception.
Disney is now reportedly in a bit of a financial crunch, not seeing the traffic it would usually see.
All Ron’s Fault
The company is now being forced to make some major cuts, but those cuts are being framed as DeSantis being responsible for them.
In the last week, Disney has announced it is closing its Star Wars hotel, an immersive experience that reportedly cost the company $2 billion to create.
The “experience” is just too expensive, however, costing, on average, $1,209 per person, per night.
The hotel will be closing only a year after opening, with the end of September being its final weekend.
The company also announced that it would not be making the move from California that it had planned for some of its offices.
It would have sent about 2,000 employees to Florida as well as a $1 billion project, which has been scrapped.
California Governor Newsom, of course, took a shot at DeSantis…
Turns out, bigoted policies have consequences.
That's 2,000+ jobs that will be welcomed back with open arms to the Golden State.
Thank you for doing the right thing, @Disney. https://t.co/1wrN2Zmi9O

This is not on DeSantis, however, but it is on Disney’s mismanagement.
DeSantis’ office responded, “Disney announced the possibility of a Lake Nona campus nearly two years ago.
“Nothing ever came of the project, and the state was unsure whether it would come to fruition.
“Given the company’s financial straits, falling market cap and declining stock price, it is unsurprising that they would restructure their business operations and cancel unsuccessful ventures.”
