Disney delays relocating workers to Fla. during battle with DeSantis, GOP

[NYPOST] The Walt Disney Co. has delayed its plan to relocate 2,000 employees from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, to Florida until 2026 amid a feud with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis

...Republican governor of Florida, stone in the shoe of the Dems and their ilk, maybe one-day president...
and the Republican-dominated state legislature over the firm’s opposition to the new "Don’t Say Gay" law.

Initially, Disney planned to have the workers from its theme parks as well as its experiences and products division on the ground in the Sunshine State by the end of this year or at the beginning of next year.

But the company now says it wants to give those workers added "flexibility" by pushing back their scheduled move east, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting on Thursday.

A Disney spokesperson told THR that while "a growing number of employees" have already settled in central Florida, "we also want to continue to provide flexibility to those relocating, especially given the anticipated completion date of the campus is now in 2026."

The move has reportedly upset some employees who had already sold their houses in California and were working with local Orlando-area realtors on buying a home in central Florida, Orlando Business Journal reported.

#1 Disney said they are delaying relocating workers, but I suspect they're really are making excuses and laying off workers discretely.

There's no actual workers to 'relocate'!

#2 It's not like they have enough of a workforce to swing a statewide election.

#5 GROQMER+: drag queens are just entertainers, and every children's school should have at least one.

Also GROQMER+: we're going to make you celebrate gay by having drag queens throw out the first pitch at Fenway.
