As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

DeSantis suggested the settlement could give Disney more of an edge to compete with neighboring Universal Orlando’s theme park, which recently announced an expansion slated to be complete next year.
2 years ago, this is exactly what DeSantis said he was fighting against. And now he’s for it.

I thought this whole thing started over Disney supporting the anti-"don't say gay" people?

it did. Then he said disneys development deal was unfair to competitors like universal, and that it needed to end

Yes. The contract that was entered into freely by two parties, at enormous benefit to FL, was deemed by FL to be unfair years later once they realized the gain, and they needed to apply political pressure.

The board at Disney faces critical votes this week.

They made up with Florida, cancelled a bunch of woke projects, sent down an edict to give spotlight back to male characters, etc. so they're on the right path back. However, they need to address the nightmare at their parks.

There aren't any examples I can think of where shareholders chose to make a premium service, over getting a few more cents in the dividend by cutting costs at the expense of quality.

I predict however the vote goes, Disney will not return to its 2000s high quality/price point.

The theme parks will remain hell, because people still go

Iger won the vote, but Disney's stock dropped on the news.
