Yahoo Finance has shared an interesting interview with former Walt Disney World Executive VP of Operations Lee Cockerell.

Lee spent almost a decade running the operational side of Walt Disney World, and shares his thoughts on the Florida Governor's continued retaliation against Disney.

Much like other observers, he sees no upside to the state of Florida and concludes that the Governor's actions are purely retaliatory for DIsney's opposition to the DeSantis agenda.

Watch the full 6-minute interview below with Lee Cockerell below.

Wegmans is much better than Publix for just about everything

You needed to go to the #1 party school. 😉 The Publix next to FSU's campus...and right across from fraternity row...was quite buzzing on Wednesday nights. I learned quickly to avoid it on that night.

Really? I've never heard of that and I've been to multiple Publixes around UCF campuses while a student haha.

Lucky Florida. All the Publix’s in my area are where the local senior swinger clubs convene 🤢

That's a Florida wedding shoot.

Sir, this is a Publix thread.

What good does DeSantis provide being in the Senate ? His personality is as lackluster as his policies and with Trump back in the White House his political future is based on his success. Nobody is gonna be checking for those type of politicians any longer if the next four years turns out be garbage.
