Controlling actions that cause negative externalities for consumers and citizens I could see but this is about the government punishing them for publishing speech that opposes his agenda.
On one hand full agreement, on the other hand there’s also something fundamentally wrong with state governments attempting to force mega corporations to do something in a different state without compelling reason purely by accounts of holding a large investment in their state.
Florida can ban things in Florida all they want within the confines of law and liberty (which they’ve long past left but that’s a different thing). But they were trying to force the whole of a company headquartered in California to stop being “woke” through punitive actions by nature of them holding a significant real investment in Florida that would be economically disastrous for both parties if it were sold off or abandoned.
It depends on what you mean by control. Can you state exactly what a Florida politician should have been legally allowed to do for the great crime of the CEO saying they disagree with them?
I have zero problems with regulations and taxes I have problems with a company or a person being censored for stating their opinion. If you look at everything he is doing it is all about them being broken to support him.
DeSantis vs Disney is like watching two kaiju monsters fight: both are monsters, but one is kinda fun since you’ve known then since childhood. But they’re still monsters, so no matter who wins, it’s a net good that they’re fighting.
I think he got a big ego boost and has just made dumb move after dumb move since.
He tried to fight Disney. Like… How much cocaine do you need to be on to think you can win a legal battle against Disney.
Disney eats lawsuits for breakfast.
I hate both Disney and I hate DeSantis. And I hate frivolous lawsuits and useless fights for political points, but…
There is something inherently wrong with governments not being able to control megacorporations.

Fair point.
