    DeSantis' board says Disney stripped them of power


    LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Board members picked by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to oversee the governance of Walt Disney World said Wednesday that their Disney-controlled predecessors pulled a fast one on them by passing restrictive covenants that strip the new board of many of its powers.

    The current supervisors of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District said at a meeting that their predecessors last month signed a development agreement with the company that gave Disney maximum developmental power over the theme park resort's 27,000 acres in central Florida.

    Ultimately, that is the Christian position regarding every evil under the sun. However, it would be hoped that the current admin will be able to deal with it before then.

    That an American contract is in effect, not specifically in perpetuity, but instead tied to the longevity of a royal family descent sounds rather unAmerican.

    That is because it is spectacularly UnAmerican. Truth be told, we are living in a time when the oligarchs are becoming considerably more transparent than they ever were before. The British monarchy are merely figure heads of the German Hanoverian dynasty that took over the power of state. Now most US citizens consider todays Windsor dynasty as a clown show with very little relevance. In short they are relics.

    So the government complaining they cannot control private citizens when those private citizens can petition another section of the government (checks and balances) to negate actions of another governmental body?
