Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Disney's Imagineers probably already have plans to lift-and-shift the entire operation somewhere less hostile.
And it'll happen overnight. One day Disney World is in Florida, the next day it's on a floating island off the coast. Imagineers are good at stuff like that.
Can’t think of a lot of onshore places that would fit the bill in terms of weather and political climate but…
Remember Sealand? To date we’ve mostly built offshore platforms for the sake of fossil fuels, but I’m not aware of a practical reason they couldn’t just build what amounts to a drilling platform, without the drilling and at a meaningful scale.
Or, screw it, international waters on the seafloor - who’s going to stop them from declaring independence? They even foreshadowed it with Ariel.
The tech Disney's been using for TV shows, plus their new floor technology, could be used to turn old malls into mini theme parks.
Instead of one Disney World in one place, they could have a hundred of them scattered across the country.
Until the very end of that my brain was definitely going in a "BioShock Infinite Columbia escapes into the clouds" direction.
They didn't specify it would be floating in the water...
They're good at imagining things?
Nah, doing stuff overnight. One day it's normal Disney World, the next day it's Christmas Disney World. Overnight, and you don't see any of it happening.
