Final Project

 Disney has filed a lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and other state officials, claiming that they have engaged in a "targeted campaign of government retaliation" against the company (https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1651259512936964096). The lawsuit centers around a feud over the governance of Disney's special district, which includes the theme park and surrounding areas.

According to the lawsuit, state officials have been retaliating against Disney for not supporting their political agenda by denying the company permits and other approvals necessary for the operation of the park. The suit claims that the state officials have violated Disney's constitutional rights and engaged in "intentional interference" with the company's business operations (https://twitter.com/oliverdarcy/status/1651257243025694723).

"Disney has been a proud member of the Florida community for many years, and we have always sought to work collaboratively with state officials," said a spokesperson for the company. "However, we cannot stand by while our constitutional rights are being violated and our business operations are being unfairly targeted."

The feud between Disney and state officials began earlier this year when the company asked for changes to the governance structure of its special district, which includes the Walt Disney World Resort and surrounding areas. The company claimed that the current structure, which gives the state control over certain aspects of the district, was outdated and hindered its ability to make important decisions.

However, state officials rejected Disney's proposal, arguing that it would give the company too much control over the district and potentially harm the environment and local communities.

The lawsuit is just the latest in a series of disputes between Disney and state officials over the governance of the special district. The outcome of the lawsuit could have significant implications for the future of the district and the relationship between Disney and the state of Florida.

Neither Governor DeSantis nor any other state officials have yet commented on the lawsuit.

Covering a Speech

  I've watched a TED talk by Megan Kamerick about "Women should represent women in media", and found some parts the were interesting. Firstly, I'd like to pick at the idea of Women representing Women instead of just Men representing them is probably a better way for when it comes to having a voice heard. Some men wouldn't want women being put in the mix of strong topics such as political views, or hard working jobs. Instead they prefer them as a material, or a low standard housewife. Which by my point, is vulgar, and down right discriminative.  One thing that stood out was the 11-year old girl story, and the way the article represented the 18 year old men were 'drawn' or 'seduced' from the victim. "These boys will have to live with this for the rest of their lives". The victim was only mentioned of the way she dressed and worn makeup in the Times article. The Time's revisits this after public backlash on the presentation they put out,...
