When Walt Disney began Walt Disney World he sent Card Walker to the Florida capital to request quid pro quo, and the governor gave it to Disney. What that meant is that Disneys property in Florida was totally controlled under Disneys jurisdiction, they had their own laws, their own police force, their own hospitals, and their own tax rate.
December 1998 Christmas Eve. The ship Columbia was being docked, when an overzealous employee tied a rope from the ship to a metal cleat, before it stopped moving. Zam POW. The cleat was ripped from the dock and wailed into the crowd nailing one employee in the leg, and a man in the head. Two days later, they declared him brain dead, and he was taken off life support. The cleat has been replaced with this thing. Im sure his family is very very well off right now. I found it a tad amusing that this was painted on the ship.
