I need the Disney thing in cliff notes for 4th graders. It’s Disney being steps ahead of Ron, right?

Yes, RC signed a contract saying that Disney will be in charge of the management until the last living descendant of the current UK King Charles dies, plus 21 years. He has several very young grand children, so this could easily be for the next 100+ years. And Ron can’t do anything about it.

Couldn’t begin to be as articulate about it now. good ol' rule against perpetuities. it's hilarious that i hadn't thought about since the bar exam, but it's come up twice in my life in the last week. 😂

byjove thanks! The whole UK King Charles thing threw me for a loop, but I like it.

I am a bit ticked current law students have an actual current contract to analyze when they are learning the rule against perpetuities instead of some abstract cranky old rich dude with a pregnant wife when he dies. All the real property professors should send Disney’s legal team a thank you note for writing one of their final exam questions.

Isn’t Disney one of the most litigious and heavily lawyered up companies out there? If DeSantis thought they were just going to just roll over and take his BS, he’s dumber than I thought.

It does give me great glee to see De.Santis fucked like that. So much glee.

I do worry a smidge for Harry's kids though with that legal precedent. What if some insane FL dude decides to start knocking off grandchildren so that Ron can take back control?

You really think you can take on *Disney*? The company that has managed to weather every single scandal that has ever befallen it with ease? The company with more money than God? And you know they did everything completely by the book just to watch them squirm now. I hate hate hate when a corporation hilariously saves the day but also, this is great.

Did you all see that the FDA approved NARCAN for OTC sale? That's great news

I met with someone running for a senior position in town this week. They have a history of supporting a pretty terrible politician. It was a productive meeting and I'm glad I went, but I'm not sure they really get my concerns. That's frustrating, I'm sorry.

Re: trains.. when I was in elementary school train safety was this huge thing. We watched a bunch of movies about it (some on the graphic side), read stories, had assemblies, etc. As an adult I realized that this wasn't something everyone had and I've wondered about it every since 😂 Every time I see someone stop for a light between the tracks and where the arm comes down, or even on the tracks themselves, I am like oh my god what the fuck is wrong with you.

I was 🤯. I grew up on a town full of railroads so it was drilled into me from the second I started driving to never stop on the tracks.

That's regional, not a universal thing? I had coloring books and everything as a kid.

It's like, is the 20 ft of space you're gaining going to do ANYTHING for your trip time when the light turns green? No. It is not.

I'm trying to think how close it gets, but I'm within 0.5-1 miles of a freight/amtrak line.
