The Disney vs. DeSantis Showdown: A Masterclass in Outmaneuvering Bullies.

Disney CEO Bob Iger has outmaneuvered Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in a dispute that began after Disney took a stand against the state's so-called Don't Say Gay legislation a year ago, prompting DeSantis to retaliate. Iger's latest move mirrored the blistering response of Florida-based cruise line CEOs to DeSantis two years ago when he threatened them for requiring standard vaccine passports for their crews and passengers. Before the governor's plan could take effect, Iger had already finalized a legal agreement with the soon-to-be-dissolved prior oversight board which transferred the key powers DeSantis tried to seize, directly to Disney for 30 years.
