The goofy impasse between the Walt Disney Co. and the state of Florida — two venerable entities whose fates are inextricably intertwined — is providing lots of red meat for Fox News, MSNBC and divisive partisans on both sides — but it’s bad for America.
It’s time for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Bob Chapek, CEO of Disney, to go together to Cinderella’s Royal Table, share some scrambled eggs, shake hands with Donald Duck and put an end to this nonsense, which is harming the state and the corporation.
They both know Disney cannot leave Florida, where it has billions of dollars in sunk costs, and Florida needs Disney, one of its biggest and most important employers. The rest is just political theater. And an embarrassment to both parties.
