I\u2019m not sure how smart geese are, but I do know that once they determined your former ball is now their present egg, it\u2019s best to drop a new one and head on down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geese are determined, and at full wing-span and running straight at you, very intimidating.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sure, in the end you would probably win a full-on battle with your nine-iron, but at what cost?&nbsp;&nbsp;Blood, feathers, spectacle and probable removal from the golf \u201ccommunity\u201d for eternity.&nbsp;&nbsp;So leave the geese alone, and let them have their \u201ceggs\u201d, even if it\u2019s a fancy Titleist that cost $15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Golden Eggs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aesop told the famous tale of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/read.gov\/aesop\/091.html\">The Goose and the Golden Egg<\/a>\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;The story goes like this:&nbsp;&nbsp;a man had a goose that laid a golden egg each day.&nbsp;&nbsp;He took the egg to the market, and made a good profit.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the man got greedy, and wanted more eggs. So he killed the goose and cut it open to find more.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, alas, there were no more golden eggs.&nbsp;&nbsp;He killed the goose that laid the golden eggs, out-smarted by his own greed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Into our language came the phrase, \u201cDon\u2019t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you\u2019ve got a good going, don\u2019t mess it up and lose everything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Florida Man&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida is a man used to getting his way.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was a successful collegiate baseball player on the Yale University starting nine.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was a successful academic, going to Harvard Law school, and serving in the US Navy.&nbsp;&nbsp;While still serving, he was appointed an Assistant US Attorney in middle Florida, and soon after his honorable discharge he was elected to Congress.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was narrowly elected Governor of Florida in 2018, then overwhelmingly reelected in 2022.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Governor is using his powers and a gerrymandered Republican super-majority in the state legislature, to make Florida his \u201cgolden goose\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;From \u201canti-woke\u201d and \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d laws to ignoring Covid protocols, DeSantis uses Florida as his \u201cexample\u201d of how he would run the United States as President.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Governor hasn\u2019t \u201ctasted failure\u201d in his life:&nbsp;&nbsp;to mix fables, everything he\u2019s touched has turned to gold.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disney<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Disney company is a huge economic presence in Florida.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just in state and local taxes, Disney pays over $1.1 Billion a year.&nbsp;&nbsp;Disney employs over 75,000 Floridians, not just at Disney World, but at Disney Resorts, Disney cruises, and other Disney owned businesses throughout the state.&nbsp;&nbsp;Disney World alone has an appraised value of over $2 Billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Disney brings in millions of tourists to Florida each year:&nbsp;&nbsp;tourists who stay in non-Disney hotels, drive on Florida toll roads, eat at Florida restaurants, and visit other Florida businesses (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/data-download\/enormous-numbers-desantis-fight-disney-rcna81019\">NBC<\/a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;The Disney businesses bring an estimated $75.2 Billion into Florida each year (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tallahassee.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2021\/10\/14\/walt-disney-world-remains-florida-biggest-political-power-50-years-later\/5919720001\/\">Tallahassee<\/a>). Florida has a total gross domestic product of $1.07 trillion, Disney represents over 7% of that total (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/187850\/gdp-of-the-us-federal-state-of-florida-since-1997\/#:~:text=In%202022%2C%20the%20real%20gross,around%201.02%20trillion%20U.S.%20dollars.\">Statista<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney, a multi-national corporation, has a huge media presence in the United States.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Disney Corporation owns the ABC network, the Disney Channel, ESPN and ESPN2, ABC Family, Fusion TV, Disney Junior and Radio Disney.&nbsp;&nbsp;And Disney still makes and markets movies, including their 2012 purchase of the Star Wars franchise.&nbsp;&nbsp;So Disney is so much bigger than just Disney World. The total value of the company is over $200 Billion.&nbsp;&nbsp;Disney World represents one percent of that value (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/193136\/total-assets-of-the-walt-disney-company-since-2006\/\">Statista<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why in the world of Aesop, Mickey Mouse, and Golden Egged Geese; would DeSantis pick a fight with Disney Corporation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This Goose Won\u2019t Die<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Disney Corporation had the audacity to \u201cbuck\u201d DeSantis on the \u201cdon\u2019t say Gay\u201d law.&nbsp;&nbsp;DeSantis demanded corporate obedience, Disney responded with rainbow colors and union protections for gay employees.&nbsp;&nbsp;When DeSantis didn\u2019t get \u201chis way\u201d with Disney World, he threatened to take away their \u201cspecial status\u201d in Florida law.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney World is so big, it takes up a \u201ccounty\u2019s\u201d worth of land.\u00a0\u00a0In their original agreement with the state, the area encompassing Disney World was designated the Reedy Creek Improvement District.\u00a0\u00a0Essentially, Disney World was the governing entity, including responsibility for police, fire, sewer, water and roads in their territory.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The Board of Disney World (Reedy Creek) is the actual governing body with legal jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Pays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Governor DeSantis passed legislation  to end the agreement, and place his handpicked representatives on the Reedy Creek board.\u00a0\u00a0But before they could officially take office, the Reedy Creek Board perpetuated their agreement with Disney, nullifying the state legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, even if DeSantis can rest control, the state government will find itself responsible for roads, police, fire, water and sewer, instead of the Disney Corporation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sure, Disney might have to pay more taxes, but in the end the state is likely to pay more for services than it gets in taxes.&nbsp;&nbsp;If DeSantis goes through with trying to \u201cruin\u201d Disney World, with a possible state wetland or even a prison built nearby; he will be, as my mother used to say, \u201cCutting off his nose to spite his face\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;The big loser of screwing with Disney is DeSantis\u2019s constituents \u2013 the people of Florida.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooked Goose<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney is bigger in Florida than even Ron DeSantis.&nbsp;&nbsp;Like violating the&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cetiquette\u201d of the golf course, the Governor is taking a nine iron to the Disney goose.&nbsp;&nbsp;The problem is, like the banks, \u201cthat goose is too big to kill\u201d, and unlikely to lay eggs for DeSantis either.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the man who \u201ccan do no wrong\u201d is convinced that attacking \u201cwoke\u201d Disney will make him the darling of the MAGA Republicans who control the primary process.\u00a0\u00a0So far though, all he\u2019s done is make Disney look smart, and DeSantis look \u2013 well \u2013 just Goofy. \u00a0\u00a0As far as Florida is concerned, Disney is laying an egg every year; in taxes, in income, and in helping to drive the economy.\u00a0\u00a0DeSantis might somehow be able to fend off the Disney Goose with his Nine Iron of a legislature, but in the end, you know what he\u2019s doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s killing the Florida goose that lays the golden eggs.&nbsp;&nbsp;The headline will ultimately read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cFlorida Man Kills Golden Goose, and cooks his
