LOL at trying to argue this as an L for Desantis. No one was going to beat Trump in a primary. Desantis made the right decision for FL taxpayers, and his state is thriving because of many of his decisions. All of which were made under the same conservative principles that drove this one.

Oh look, Disney keeps losing in the market, and RDS is now a rumored VP candidate.
Ruh roh! Sensing another shareholder suit will be incoming.Quote:
Last month, the Mouse House released a detailed, 67-page report for investors "singing the praises of its chief executive Bob Iger in a bid to convince stockholders to side with him in a battle with activist investors," as Forbes' Caroline Reid put it. I included the link because Reid did in her write-up, but the PDF file is no longer there, perhaps flushed down the memory hole.
Reid's article is a bit technical but the upshot is that when calculating the studio's return on investment for franchises like The Avengers and Star Wars, Disney didn't factor in the acquisition costs of buying Marvel and Lucasfilm.
"Calculating ROI on revenue rather than profit ignores the costs so artificially inflates the result," Reid explained. Well, yes. It's really easy to show a profit when you include revenues but conveniently leave out major expenses.
Reid concluded that "Disney hasn't misled investors as the methodology is in the fine print." But the methodology itself is a scam, a way to calculate returns on investment that no reputable firm would ever use. The Avengers movies made boatloads of money (at least until recent years) but Star Wars is probably still in the red despite what Disney told investors

#NEW: Walt Disney World agreement with DeSantis-appointed district permits construction of a 5th theme park, just a couple months after legal qualms ended between the company and Florida

It also includes up to $17B of investments from Disneyhttps://t.co/8ZLyzwWlbf
So Disney dropped its lawsuit against Florida and Ron DeSantis, admitted Florida and DeSantis were legally correct, and is now investing $17 billion in the state. Total victory for DeSantis. He made Disney CEO Bob Iger his bitch. https://t.co/2O1SnMWR0F

How long do you want to ignore this user?
So has anyone seen OP lately?
This guy would run away with the election and should be the nominee.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

Trump will fix it.

Who would have thought that exposing kids to gender idealogy thru G rated content would not be controversial?
Only those infected with the woke mind virus.

Great News
Too much winning and it's not even January 20th yet
Is the tide turning? Is this a mirage? Seems like a shift since the election and Trump hasn't even taken office yet.
BREAKING: Disney has decided to pull transgender storyline from their upcoming Pixar streaming series “Win or Lose”

I think the tide is easing up, but I don't think they will ever stop.
Iger needs the heat on them turned down, likely, also why they settled with Trump.
Quote:
But Disney CEO Bob Iger and his executives bent the knee anyway. They "obeyed in advance" to curry favor with Trump and lessen the odds that he would seek vengeance against them. Disney apparently didn't like being on the wrong side of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and had no interest in repeating the experience with Trump. At least for now, arousing Trump's ire is bad for ratings and thus profits.
The calculations for Disney aren't hard to figure. Settling the case for a $15 million contribution to Trump's presidential "library" (no doubt a future shrine at Mar-a-Lago that will contain no criticism), $1 million in legal fees, and an apology must have seemed a necessary price for entry into Trump's protection racket. Of course, that's easy to rationalize if you're a corporate suit, not a journalist.
Hilarious how many so-called conservatives were cheering against DeSantis on this one only early patients at this thread.

Yet we still had 2 moms as one of the kids parents inserted into Skeleton Crew.

Gay/lesbian couples are infinitely more common and visible in any decent sized city than transgenders ever will be. They (gays/lesbians) are seen as normal in our society today. Transgenders, no matter how much the woke left tries, won't be. They're too small a population.
It's good Disney is doing this. It's not the time.
There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the later ignorance. Hippocrates
Dreamworks is far better than Pixar at this point.
The original thread's commentary by OP ranks up there with one of the more hilariously wrong observations in F16 history; luckily for OP, NOTHING will ever beat the Mensa-level stupidity that was offered by the now AWOL dumbass who tried to argue inflation was transitory &/or good for the economy- LOL!!!
When I see that username, I know nothing logical will follow. The fringe is still not the mainstream in America, no matter what the degenerate media and politicos want to tell us.
2-teas ranks up there pretty high.Ag in Tiger Country said:

There were some seriously bad takes on the Russian Collusion thread. I still remember ThomasFord91's bad takes
