I worked in courts and the sketch artists are something else. One time, one of them sketched me in 5min. I looked so bummed and guilty that I felt like I was staring down a 25 year sentence. To this day I still keep the drawing on my wall ( ˘ ³˘)

My apologies, I was just recalling what was my first reaction and didn’t thought it would get any real traction.

Because . Think of it as a boilerplate statement if you want, but in this context, I find it disgusting and weird. She is the one who is currently erasing much of the life’s work of the deceased person she is supposedly paying respect to.
I don’t know, the person who dismantled the KleptoCapture programs, reallocated personnel and ressources previously dedicated to targeting Russian oligarchs towards drugs cartel, ended the foreign influence task force and reduced FARA enforcement publicly stating her “heart(!) and prayers go out to her family and friends” after the death of the most prominent figure involved in preventing and fighting foreign influences specially from Russia, is quite disturbing to say the least.
The amount of cope in this thread is insanely depressing.
Using the word “dumb” is downplaying what their administration truly stands for.
They are smart, wealthy and powerful. Let’s look at them for what they are.
I probably found the source of this quiproquo… ಥ_ಥ
The individual was probably referencing Disney World and their unique governance arrangements with the state of Florida mainly the CFTOD.
I just looked into this, and yeah, Disney has definitely tried to build their own cities. They had the original EPCOT concept in the 60s, interesting to think about how these experiments could probably be the influence of Thiel’s project, I’m guessing he will try to use a similar framework but this time with the administration and population full support.
Indeed, I’m just quite cynical when it comes to Disney due to their recent lobbying of homophobic politicians, but yeah, right now everything is better than the other options…
Truly interesting point, It directly made me think of an article I read some days ago about the possibility of “Freedom cities” run by corporations… It could definitely be the door they use to make this kind of future possible.
Disney represents 40B$ and constitutes a big chunk of Florida economy, they cannot afford what Tesla is going through, so sure he might not personally give a fuck, but DeSantis and the other cultists sure do.
I mean they do lobby for republican lawmakers and recently donated more than $80k worth to individuals who actively supported the “Don’t Say Gay” bill…
They made a deal with DeSantis, meaning this move would not happen without consulting him first. From my understanding, due to the backlash against American companies, especially Tesla, Disney can get in hot water financially. They export American soft power all over the world, so it is important not to tarnish their appearance especially in a context where there is trump in power, imagine if tomorrow they decided to stop DEI for good; the Disney Parks around the world and Disney World would get hit financially as well as their movie industry, thus also hitting Florida’s economy centered around fun parks and tourism. It’s some kind of abusive co-dependency.

Ahah it truly does! Especially when I invite partners, some get uneasy, thinking it’s some kind of trophy of some kind. Can get awkward but it’s a pretty effective glass breaker.
On the advice of my highly paid counsel, I respectfully decline to answer that question and invoke the fifth, trump style.
