“Warren described Disney’s decision to pay dividends and buy back stock BEFORE the pandemic as “short-sighted,”
Because they should have known there would be a once in a century pandemic that shut down the country (and their main revenue sources: theme parks & theaters) for months on end?
Disney is run by leftists who tied themselves at the hip to the Democrat party.
And what has been their reward? California’s Democrat governor still has their biggest moneymaker (Disneyland) closed by order.
Meanwhile, Republican run Florida’s Disney World is opening up.
I hope Disney executives have learned a lesson. They are getting dumped on by the Democrats.
Screw you, bitch. It's none of your damn business unless you're a shareholder and, if that's the case and you're unhappy, sell your shares. That's the extent of your power. Oh, and read the Constitution...evidently you need a refresher course.
That would be the ONLY bright side of a Biden victory. Seeing these idiots who support these vermin getting hammered by the raving socialists.
So, Gavin Newsom won’t allow these amusement parks to open back up, and PocaHonky is mad at the amusement parks for the layoffs? But of course.
Her head is made of dense wood. Nothing else. As much as I despise Disney, in her la-la land of make believe the idea that a company would be formed to make a profit is inconceivable. What? What are stockholders?
When attendance is down by the millions just how in the hell would she expect to sustain thousands of employees? Her mere presence is indicative of a dumbed down electorate. God - help shield us from these arrogant imbeciles.....
“When attendance is down by the millions just how in the hell would she expect to sustain thousands of employees?”
That’s easy....in her mind she would just take more off of me and you. You know what they say, socialism is great ‘till you run out of other peoples money.
Considering Disney owns ABC/ESPN, I’m all for backing Chief Spreading Bull when she goes after them. Big Yech too for that matter.
Hey Liewatha, wanna go after Comcast or Time Warner next? You have my full support.
Disneyland....the superspreader....
And there’s your next Labor Secretary in a Biden Administration.
During this layoff, how many foreign nationals did Disney hire?
So, Dizzyny should operate at a loss.
You can’t have it both ways. Shut it down with no consequences.
I would have been on her side if she had asked if Disney was hiring foreign nationals at the same time they were laying off American citizens.
I think FReepers need to just stay out of this one, personally I have no dog in this fight, lost respect for Disney a long time ago when they screwed over their IT workers for cheap H1b labor.
This moron in defending Noisome by attacking Disney is just proving how little the democraps care to tens of thousands of union voters.
I heard Hollywood was shutting down for 2 years ,LOL
Wait, so her complaint is that for many years, they have returned profits to shareholders, but NOW, when their theme park is unncessarily shuttered by a democratic governor in california, they are laying off the workers — in part because they cannot get them COVID help since the democrats in congress are blocking it?
Elections have consequences. If you are a Disney worker in California, realize that the Disney workers in Florida all have jobs, because they have a republican governor, and you are all unemployed, and not getting supplemental pay, because of democrats.
Disney is in serious financial trouble, much more than most here realize. They just finished buying Fox for billions of debt, right before the shutdown.
Almost every single money making Disney operation is shutdown or was shutdown for a long time.
Right now, they can’t release movies to movie theaters, many TV shows are shutdown or have only recently begun to shoot. Their cruise ships are docked until next year, and Disneyland is still shutdown in CA.
Their support for SJW and BLM is turning people away from them
They are bleeding money and the Democrats they support are doing it to them. Karma baby, Karma!
