The Walt Disney Company announced Wednesday it is trimming its payroll by some 7,000 employees, becoming the latest major firm to cut jobs as economic uncertainty weighs.

Disney has been awful since Eisner left. He at least ACTED like he was carrying on as Walt would have.

An old David Letterman skit:
They say Disney has fallen on hard times and some scandals.
One sign, Donald’s nephews.
Huey-—dead.
Dewey-—dead.
Louie-—in rehab.

Hope they took diversity, reparations and equity into consideration.

From Reuters:
Does Disney pay for employee abortions?
The company’s benefits will cover the cost of employees who need to travel to another location to access care, including to obtain an abortion, it said.

Question from me: What if the employee let go is a woman who will need an abortion after the end of her employment at Disney? Depending on which trimester?

My favorite was always Goofy (my late wife said “That figures.”)

Hope they didn’t let him go.

The bulldozer to level things off is a great meme.
