A lot of this has already been taken apart by other posters, but I'm going to pick too because this load of cope is too stinky to leave lying around.
You have no clue what you're talking about. He didn't replace the board of RCID. He abolished RCID completely, and replaced it with CFTOD. RCID no longer exists. And you can complain all you want to about motives,
'If you leave out that it was unambiguously a use of power to punish a company for not going along silently with a stupid law, they did have the power to do that' isn't a mitigating argument. It's just not. Not going to leave the motivation aside not only because that would be craven but it would be stupid too as it is
what DeSantis wanted to win. When trying to argue it was a win for him you can't ignore what original goals.
but RCID was a government entity, not a private entity. The government of Florida can do whatever it want to any government entity it creates. It isn't just that the law doesn't name Disney, it's that the law doesn't actually do ANYTHING to Disney. It did something to RCID. And RCID is legally completely independent of Disney. RCID is a government entity, not the property of Disney. Disney had no property rights to RCID. Their only claim to property rights was the developer agreement, which was invalid for both substantive and procedural reasons, but with the settlement even Disney agrees that it's dead.
This is meaningless. The distinctions you're trying to make are legal fictions, not logical ones. The board changing names doesn't mean it was fundamentally different in ostensive function. What were they set up to do? Manage the services for Disney's huge properties. Both were given those powers.
The switch of CFTOD board members isn't part of this
settlement, it happened separately. These are really basic facts, how can you be getting it so wrong?
The polite fiction that just because these changes were not
written in the official settlement is not worth entertaining as a valid argument in regards to what was in the deal. You want to pretend that if the documents don't say it, it 'doesn't count' which doesn't make any more sense than pretending DeSantis didn't do what he did to punish Disney (even though he obviously did), or that the Muslim Ban wasn't that (even though Trump said it was that and it was that) or that Intelligent Design isn't the same as creationism.
The 'rules lawyering' you're doing is laughable
and contemptible. It's so intellectually dishonest to expect others to play along with the idea that the only things that count are those explicitly stated in courts. Who says you get to set those standards? And will you stick with them? Let's see...
And who gets to appoint the new board members?
...nope. You won't. DeSantis isn't named. It's the office of the governor of Florida, right? 'How can you get such basic facts wrong.'
Ron DeSantis, not Disney. That hasn't changed. Stephanie Kopelousos is being reported as someone more pro-Disney than Gilzean, since she's worked with Disney before, but she's also a former campaign advisor for DeSantis. She's still HIS pick, not Disney's.
She's also now
required to do the things Disney wanted the board to do in the first place.
And RCID is gone for good, which means nothing has really been undone. You really don't understand the difference between RCID and CFTOD if you think the switch of a few board members represents undoing anything. And again, that switch isn't even part of this settlement.
Pure cope. The board's actions have
all been undone. You can claim the rename is meaningful but it just isn't. The messing with the permits and water rights is gone and the new board, no matter who is on it, can't mess with them again.
7. Mitigation Credits. As a material inducement to Disney in entering into the Agreement, the District acknowledges Disney is the owner of, and the District shall not prohibit or impede,
but rather assist in the use of, Long-Term Permit Mitigation Credits or other entitlements created through:
a) South Florida Water Management District Environmental Resource Permits Nos. 48-00714-S, 48-00714-P, and/or and 48-00714-8-22, as amended;
b) Department of the Army Permit 199101901 (IP-GS) and/or SA3-1991-01901 (SP-TSD), as amended;
c) State of Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission Permits Nos. OSC-4, OSC-SSC-1, and/or OSC-TSR-1, as amended.
First off, this settlement isn't actually between DeSantis and Disney, it's between Disney and CFTOD.
Symantec wankery is about the level I expected but this is tedious even for you.
And CFTOD got what it wanted: the last-minute developer agreement between Disney and RCID is permanently gone. Which it would have been anyways, but now they don't have to go through a trial to get it. If you don't know why getting rid of that developer agreement was important, then you don't understand why Disney pushed it through at the last minute, and why CFTOD wanted it nullified. As I said before, Disney did get something important out of this deal, but you never even mentioned it, because you don't understand anything.
It literally doesn't matter if RCID is gone because the new board has to do what Disney wanted the RCID to do anyway. But hey, now the new board has a new name and Florida technically picks who is on it, even though if they don't do what Disney wanted them to do in the first place Florida has violated the settlement.
You want to pretend these things aren't what have happened because you
wish it was a win for DeSantis. The only way to cope is to pretend others 'just don't get it'.
What did Disney want the board (whichever name you
claim is important) to do? Does this agreement force the board (name it Goofy for all it matters) to do that?
It does because Disney won.
The state lawsuits are ended permanently.
lol
No, they cannot. First off, the federal lawsuit claim wasn't based on the law being a bill of attainder, but on being a first amendment violation.
And? What do you think you're saying here? What does it matter? It doesn't and you aren't saying anything of value.
Second, even if they restart the appeal, it doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding. There's a reason it was dismissed even before trial: Disney has no case.
It was dismissed because the Trump judge wrote utter drivel that would be overturned. If the appeal was weak, Disney would have been happy to give it up in the settlement. They didn't so they still have a weapon if DeSantis breaks it.
RCID is gone, CFTOD is here to stay. I'm not sure if that's punishment given that RCID should have been abolished decades ago, but Disney lost a hell of a lot when they lost RCID. They weren't entitled to it in the first place, which is why they can't win their federal suit, but they still lost it.
No, they do not have control of the board.
What attacks do you imagine there were? CFTOD got rid of the last-minute developer agreement. They got rid of the illegal park passes to employees (now the employees get a stipend which they can use to buy passes if they want, but aren't required to). The contract with Reedy Creek Energy Services is going to expire in 2028 instead of 2032. Do you understand anything about the situation? Anything at all?
Yeah, you really don't understand anything about RCID and CFTOD. This isn't an L for me, you just beclowned yourself.
Blahblahblah, Disney got what it wanted and DeSantis didn't. It's an L, no matter if you want to admit it or not. You were wrong and remain wrong. Disney isn't going to have to deal with threats to its operations and the law that sparked this is being cut apart. Get better politics.
