Dear Florida taxpayers, How much money are you spending on Ron DeSantis pissing contest with Disney? Hope to hear from you soon! Best, Retiring Guy

And now, the governor’s appointees, having belatedly discovered the action, are none too pleased. “It completely circumvents the authority of the board to govern,” Brian Aungst Jr., a member of the new council, said on Wednesday at the group’s second meeting. “We’re going to have to deal with it and correct it.” 

Mr. DeSantis has not weighed in personally, but a spokeswoman, Taryn Fenske, said in a statement that the new board had retained multiple legal firms “to conduct audits and investigate Disney’s past behavior.” Ms. Fenske added that the administration expected that the “last-ditch effort” by Disney would be found “void as a matter of law.”  [emphasis added]

 

And how much do these "multiple legal firms" charge per hour for each of their attorneys assigned to the case?

According to Merriam-Webster, the first known use of 'pissing contest', as in a competition between rivals to determine superiority, predominance, or leadership, occurred in 1971.

Other coinages from the same year include:

• bizarro
• blow dryer
• day job
• hired gun
• loony tunes
• mental health day

I waited to write this piece until things were relatively quiet on the economic news front, but I’m sure I’ll still get letters saying this is a frivolous topic in a world beset by countless crises. Well, frivolous to you maybe. I’m the one with 252 neckties (and eight bow ties).
