The CEO of Florida’s biggest employer called out the state’s governor for trying to neuter them, calling him ‘anti-business.’
Florida governor Ron DeSantis’ plan to screw over the biggest company in his state boomeranged spectacularly. His plan was to strip Disney of control over its special governing district, replacing one board with another packed with cronies. But when said cronies held their first meeting, they discovered Disney had cleverly circumvented that plan, stripping them of almost all power. It was pure humiliation, but the company isn’t done with him just yet.
As per The New York Times, during Disney’s annual shareholders meeting on Monday, Bob Iger, the company’s head honcho, made a rare public comment about the governor who’s had it out for them, all because they dared defend the existence of LGBTQIA+ people. He did not hold back, calling DeSantis’ efforts to punish the gigantic corporation “not just anti-business,” but “anti-Florida” as well.
