I’ve been wondering the opposite:
I wonder how much of the economy is driven by these theme parks.
For the third biggest economy in the US, I find it’s lacks of lots of things that even a neighboring state seems to do better. Wild guess, but much of the economy seems based on tourism (which I imagine even with everything in Florida Disney constitutes a large chunk of) and real estate from people moving down from northeast with wads of cash.
If that’s the case I can’t imagine Florida politicians willing to do away that even for the current party zeitgeist.
- quantified 5y agoI’d guess it’s not that big a part of the state economy, but definitely a big part of the Orlando area’s. Just my guess. Moving would be a significant action. Michael Jordan observed that even conservatives buy sneakers. I’d rather see Disney as a vague “fantasy” brand than a specific viewpoint brand, regardless of the viewpoint. Wouldn’t push that preference on anyone else.
