Governor DeSantis’s policies targeting the LGBTQ community, restricting academic freedom, and banning diversity programs have negatively impacted Florida’s economy. Several organizations have canceled conventions and events in Orlando due to concerns over DeSantis’s “anti-woke” agenda, resulting in an estimated $20 million loss in revenue for the state. Despite this, DeSantis’s spokesperson dismissed the economic impact as a “media-driven stunt.” However, boycotts in the past have caused enough economic pain to lead to policy changes, so organizations avoiding Florida are doing the right thing by not spending money there while these policies remain in place.
My family wants to do our first-ever Disney trip, but we’re boycotting Florida for the foreseeable future, and it’s 100% on their government. We look *at a trip to FL like vacationing in Berlin circa 1933 right now.
Love the idea, but that’s a 6 hour flight, where FL is only 2, and I’m not ready to fly with twin Kindergarteners :)
I’ll wait.
Their woke agenda and woke books, and woke teachers and woke doctors and woke postmen and woke Santa Claus and woke… FFS stfu you fascist pig
Earlier today, I heard someone refer to the Star Wars sequel trilogy as “woke.” I’m still scratching my head.
Yo, listen up, here’s the story About a little guy that lives in a woke world And all day and all night and everything he sees is just woke Like him, inside and outside Woke his house with a woke little window And a woke Corvette and everything is woke for him And himself and everybody around 'Cause he ain’t got nobody to listen (To listen, to listen, to listen)
Man I never wanna leave the west coast… Let alone go to Florida
Obvious consequence of alienating half the country.
DeSantis will forever be remembered as “that woke guy from Florida” lmao
He kinda attached himself to that word now. At least, that’s the only thing I remember form his campaign; “WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE”
