Sooo...Disney will now have to pay @$20 million in taxes annually...that’s a lot of mullah to support the sickos they are supporting
I don’t think $20 million per year is going to bother them much. Losing $34 billion in market cap in less than a month, however, should.
Thank you!
You’re welcome.
DC should be a MD city. Outside the Fed enclave there is nothing that is critical to the Fed government.
