From the Ankler’s latest summary of entertainment news:
= = = = = START QUOTE:
Iger called off plans to relocate around 1,000 employees from CA to FL, and spend around $1 Billion for a new campus in Lake Nona, FL as the home for 2,000 new FL jobs.
The 200 or so DISNEY employees who have already made the move to FL are also potentially being offered the opportunity to come back to CA. Funny how Iger never actually ran for office… but is running circles around a ‘seasoned’ politician thus far.

This clarifies my vague sense that DeSantis has gone off track. His unique niche is SOLVING PROBLEMS. He saved Florida from perpetual NAZI TORTURE, and his courage inspired other Dixie governors to save their own people from the NAZIS.
This was the biggest political solution since FDR. No other politician has saved nearly as many people from death and destruction.
Since then he’s been focusing on the culture war, which is a superficial and self-solving problem. The Youngkin election should have taught other politicians that the culture war was NOT the major problem as seen by voters.
After QE switched to QT, corporations had to win and keep CUSTOMERS instead of winning and keeping NYC SHAREHOLDERS. Customers hate woke, and customers punish woke companies when it’s possible. The problem is self-solving and self-dissolving.
DeSantis missed the lesson taught by three Georges: George Washington Carver, George Mason, and George Romney. Find your niche and stick to it. Your customers and associates trust you to maintain your line of research or your line of business. When you lose your niche you lose your customers.
Carver:
START WHERE YOU ARE.
WORK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.
MAKE SOMETHING OF IT.
NEVER GIVE UP.
Romney expressed the point less precisely: In 1961, when Rambler was beating Plymouth, a journalist asked Romney if he was bothered by the fact that most people who bought Ramblers drove in the right lane. (Translation: “Your customers are useless codgers who don’t deserve to buy cars.”) Romney said “I don’t care as long as there are lots of them.”
