Laying off 7000 people means to me that they have too many people hanging around in offices somewhere.
I have been asked by 3 females to take them (separately of course) to Disneyworld; I refused.
The latest request was from Riviera Beach, FL and we would go along with her family; this would be a nightmare in so many ways I can't even begin to contemplate it.

Nelson Peltz got his way
The big time turnaround King and Trump donor is demanded a seat on the board of Disney, says Iger is the reason Disney is where it is now. Over the past couple of months, he put immense pressure on the board and wrested concessions from Iger in return for withdrawing his campaign for a Board Seat.

Last time at Dinny Lan was 30 years ago. I was really tired and didn't enjoy it. They gave me the survey as I left the park. I was yelling and screaming as I read the questions.
Every single question hinted at if we raise our prices will you still come to the park and pay.
I was yelling they need to change that sign to "The Greediest. Place on Earth"
Never been back nor will I go. I'll get a season pass to Knotts Berry Farm before those Dinnny Assholes! Hope they go BROKE!

Disney getting rid of deadweight like the blue hairs working non-value added jobs is a step in the right direction.
Seems like Amazon, Google, and Facebook already are doing the same.
Higher interest rates means no more easy money, and going on hiring binges to hire more managers to manage the managers.

I remember back in the early 1990s hearing about how some of the rank in file at Disney, such as the creative types like animators, were gay.
They had gay pride day at Disney World from what I recall back in the late 1990s where a large amount of visitors wore gay pride shirts.
It was a determined progression on their part, and now they control the content at Disney.
This resulted in Disney produced stale Woke shit and once in a while they may produce something that is noteworthy and very profitable like Frozen.
But in their collective mind, this is perfectly acceptable as its all about ESG or Woke objectives, whereas profitability is not a priority.

It's not a problem that Disney is doing this, the problem is that I suspect government money is being given to Disney to do this.
If they are being paid by some sort of NGO or other government corruption, and I strongly suspect they are - the COVID bailout was one method, that's corruption.

If you wonder who the glowies are on Patnet, the above quote/post has glowie written all over it. An obvious attempt to cause distrust and hatred of the government. Disney is the problem bub, and just because Disney has enough money to influence the government doesn’t mean they get a free pass. Disney does what they want to do, government doesn’t fund Disney, rather Disney helps fund the government.<

You are constantly accusing me of this.
Look, I don't like the government. What's to like about it? I have put this question to you before, and you come back with shit like "well, they build roads". Look at what they are doing in East Palestine? At Katrina, they turned away trucks bringing water from Walmart - I know Walmart did it for free PR, so what? They just forced us all into a lockdown over bullshit, and then tried to coerce us into becoming a medical experiment.
Fuck them. I'm quite open about my dislike for this criminal government. It's not even legitimate anymore - was Biden elected? No.
And you're like "oh slow down, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater!" - the "baby" is a 65 year old man with a diaper fetish, pretending to be a baby. It's practically a rotting, stinking corpse. You're bitching that I complain about the government? Sure the fuck do!
When they arrest that asshole, and convict him, I'll change my mind. If they arrest ANYBODY and convict them, I'll change my mind. Clinton, Pelosi, George W. Bush, Fauci, anybody, I'll change my mind. The government is in the business of protecting criminals, not prosecuting them. There is no law.
You can be a pathetic bootlicker if you like. I use my REAL NAME here. Wouldn't make a difference if I didn't. Anybody working at the intelligence agencies can trivially find out who I am or your are - they can do stuff Patrick himself can't do, even though he runs this site. Here's my IP address:
75.31.75.102
You know why I gave that to you? That SPECIFICALLY identifies who I am. This is the best you can do with it:
https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/75.31.75.102
I'm not a coward. If there were less cowards, we'd have a much better government. People have 3 possibilities
1) have no clue what is going on, and just how criminal government is (people ACTIVELY work to be ignorant)
2) have a clue what is going on and go along to get along, be complicit in the crimes these are cowards or they are criminals or something in between.
3) have a clue what is going on and at least complain about it, see if you can do something about it.
I actively work to eliminate option #1 for people. You're going to go with #2. It's your immortal soul, dude. Do what you want.

This stuff is just mean.
I don't know why people care about Halle Bailey being cast in the Little Mermaid. I know the first film had a white character, and I know the original tale was by Hans Christian Andersen and he was Danish but the Disney adaptations have NEVER been faithful to the original works anyhow, so who cares?
Halle Bailey is a well regarded singer. Who you rather have Miley Cyruss in the part? She's a slut now.
Ever read the AA Milne Winnie the Pooh books, they bear LITTLE resemblance to the Dizney stuff. Same thing with Pinnochio.
This Dizney stuff doesn't matter. All their live action remakes of "classics" suck, and are promptly forgotten. Part of the reason they keep changing characters and add in all this woke BS, is so as attitudes change, they have something new to sell - just "update it". Our culture is forcibly changed to sell new books, new films, new crap, periodically.

original link
Don't think somebody can sincerely hate the intelligence agencies and criminal government that has dragged us into the precipice of World War III?
I happily spend time debunking government propaganda, it's my favorite hobby. I waste plenty of time informing people of past government crimes, why do you think I do that? I do it to prove the government is criminal.
Here - did you know that the FIB was warned PRIOR to the bombing of the WTC in 1993 that it was about to be bombed?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M8QtYTplyk
The DOJ tried to prosecute him, but he didn't trust the FIB (smart man) and recorded all his conversations with the FIB.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emad_Salem
Salem released that recording in part, to prove his innocence, and to prove FIB involvement.
Now, given the FIB allowed the WTC bombing, and the discrepancies about 9/11, who do you think did 9/11? Some guys from the Middle East being directed by a guy in a cave in Afghanistan? Who PAID the terrorists - they needed money to live, where did the money come from? 90% of them were Saudi, our "good friends". They are our government's friends, they did terrorism for the United States government to justify 20 years of endless stupid wars.
If Americans only knew, but most people are cattle. It doesn't matter how much proof or evidence there is presented, they either can't believe it, or simply won't.

Disney begins second round of layoffs as company aims to cut 7,000 jobs by summer.
Disney stock dips on news of 15% job cut to entertainment segments.
This week marks the second round of job cuts following a first round that began the week of March 27. Disney officials said Monday that at the completion of this second wave, 4,000 jobs will be eliminated.
The eliminations will occur across the company’s business segments, including Disney Entertainment, ESPN, and Disney Parks, Experiences and Products. They will also happen across the country, from Burbank to New York and Connecticut.
Disney chief Bob Iger, who stepped back into the CEO position in November, has remained hyper-focused on profitability as investors shift focus away from subscriber growth and put more emphasis on margins. The company's direct-to-consumer division shed a whopping $4 billion-plus in its fiscal 2022 ended Oct. 1, after it spent an estimated $33 billion on content last year.
Since then, Iger has stressed a direct link between content decisions and financial performance, especially amid a challenging macroeconomic environment that has pressured other media giants — like Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and Paramount Global (PARA) — to enact their own cost-saving initiatives.
Disney (DIS) will lay off thousands of more workers this week as it looks to slash 7,000 jobs by the summer.

Disney had previously announced the effort to slash 7,000 jobs as it looks to eliminate $5.5 billion in costs. The company went through its first round of layoffs at the end of March with more job cuts expected before the start of the summer to get to the target.
In addition to the layoffs announced in February, Disney also disclosed plans to restructure the organization into three core business segments: Disney Entertainment, ESPN, and Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.
At the time, Iger said the new strategic organization, "will result in a more cost-effective coordinated and streamlined approach to our operations."
Disney is set to report its fiscal second quarter earnings results on May 10.

Trump must be bummed since he spent a good part of last week criticizing Ron DeSantis for fighting this battle with Disney and the perverts trying to sexualize our kids at public schools.
Trump must either be totally cool with the Disney grooming, like he is cool with Bruce Jenner's B.S..........or he is just cool with the Disney donor support?
Which is it?
