The Walt Disney Co. said Thursday it planned to build a new regional campus in central Florida to house at least 2,000 professional employees who will be relocating from Southern California to work in digital technology, finance and product development. — CNBC
Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, Josh D’Armaro, in a letter to employees, said the move would allow creative and business teams to be better integrated. The new campus will be located about 20 miles to the east of Disney World in a master-planned community called Lake Nona.
“Florida is known for its rich culture of hospitality and active lifestyle as well as a lower cost of living with no state income tax,” said D’Amaro in the employee letter.
It is set to be built over the next 18 months. Its exact location, size, and architect have yet to be announced.

Shows you their values which, no surprise, do not include their employees.
"rich culture of hospitality and active lifestyle as well as a lower cost of living" ... and COVID deniers
One shot and you are bulletproof.
Well, maybe two shots and you are good to go,
Well, you might need a booster shot to go with the first two, but then you are fine.
Well, if you have the three shots you can still catch the Delta variant, but you won't be as sick. Maybe.
All of the things you just said like they're big reveals were publicly known months before the first vaccines were even approved. Just because you don't know something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Try reading once in a while.
People who spent the past year screaming that COVID is no worse than the flu are now extremely upset that COVID vaccines work like flu shots.
Volunteer, everyone knows that the vaccine doesnt protect you from getting COVID but you likely wont land up in the hospital. Indeed, almost all the hospitalizations and deaths in the last few weeks are amongst the non-vaccinated.
Well, I guess everyone knows this except for you and some floridians. But then again most of the dumbshit deniers have taken the vaccine but mislead others.
Even McConnell is saying this. As recent as *checks notes* yesterday when he (probably) realized his voters are the ones going to the hospitals now ... that or he checked his stock portfolio.

To be fair, he's been saying to get the vax for a while.
and this snake oil salesman changed his mind too! https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-hannity-fox-hosts-recant-disinformation-campaign-covid-19-vaccine-2021-7
I saw that. It's not going to do anything, imho, and it's because of the "dog whistle" things embedded in the statements like for example, "research like crazy." His viewers think their research backs up their hesitancy or decision not to get the jabs.
Additionally, the conspiracy-minded people who watch this are just going to think this is a deep-state plot and he's been compromised or something.
This is a few months old at this point, but still extremely relevant. Portion of a This American Life episode with Frank Luntz trying to understand and convince a focus group of Trump voters to get vaccinated.

(Spoiler alert) ... emphasis mine.
David Kestenbaum: "So a skeptic would say, OK, you've demonstrated-- what you've demonstrated here in this focus group is that if you get 20 people in Zoom with the former head of the CDC, a former governor, a senator, the leader of the Republicans in the House and another representative, then yes, you can move them, and to where they say they'll consider it. But you can't repeat that with millions of people."
Frank Luntz: "That's the challenge that we have."
Luntz has moved a lot from being a cynic 5 years ago.
Near death experiences can have that affect on people. https://twitter.com/frankluntz/status/1242166202958409728?lang=en
He touches on his stroke and the effects it's had on him in the podcast episode.
"Frank had a stroke a year ago in January, which is actually one of the reasons he wanted to work on this. The experience made him really angry with all the people who weren't getting vaccinated. He says the stroke was this thing he probably could have prevented if he'd done what the doctor said. But he didn't take care of himself, didn't take his medication. And now, seeing people do some version of that, not protecting themselves by getting the vaccine, endangering themselves and others, it was driving him crazy. Like, you people are healthy. You don't realize what you have. The stroke affected his left arm and his speech."
I guess their newest franchise reboot is "2,000 Employees Under the Sea"
