Not at all.
This is a free society. Disney has the right to charge whatever they wish. Their duty is to make a much profit as they can for their stockholders.
If the parks are full at that price, so be it.
Those stockholders are not the Hollywood types. They are the hundreds of thousands of investors across America and the world who own Disney stock. Millions more own a piece of it through their mutual funds.

Absolutely not! My wife grew up in Las Vegas. When the Mob ran it, it was a bargain (probably due in some respects to skimming), but when HH and Kerkorian showed up, everything changed. You can say what you will about “maximizing profits,” but that “business school stuff” has lead to the product or service being secondary to “maximizing profits.” Go give AT&T a call and see how long you have to wait to speak with someone (and that someone will be a someone you most likely can’t understand because they are in some $hit hole country in SEA). Then you will most likely get an on-line survey to see if they were successful in jerking you around. They all have a “we don’t give a $hit attitude” toward their customers. I liked it better when businesses put their customers first and though profits were the result of good service.
What I want is for the hundreds of displaced Disney IT workers to file lawsuits in federal court against Disney for flat-out BREAKING the law, based on the importation of lower cost workers, using the H1-B visa program.
The law stipulates that H1-B visas are ONLY to be used when qualified citizens simply aren’t available. The fact that Disney coerced the former employees to train their replacements (otherwise, they would lose all severance, and be terminated on the spot) is evidence that the American employees WERE qualified.
I also suggest a boycott of Disney, and all their subsidiaries, like ABC.

No, but we want a level of opportunity that allows us to have an increasing standard of living versus costs, on average.
If you’re someone connected to the government, you’re getting that. Everybody else, on average, isn’t.

If I see more articles like this one, I will be convinced that these are talking points that are shuttling us toward just such a takeover.
