SO is a public school teacher here in Central FL. He went on DROP, the deferred retirement program, at the beginning of the year. He's worried that the downslide in tourism will affect his pension.

The FL Leg is not known for its ability to deal with bad situations. They think a tax cut solves everything. The state's main source of income is about to dry up. What now with these idiots?

my team does all things show related. And we work with entertainment on the ships, too

So if it moves (but not the ride vehicle itself) or has graphics or blinks or flashes or has buttons and switches on control panels, we do it!
