>>The 400-day closure of Disney’s Anaheim theme parks cost the entertainment giant $10 million in daily revenue — or an estimated $4 billion, according to financial analysts. The year-long closure of Disneyland and DCA cost the Southern California economy $23 million a day — or more than $9 billion, according to an economic impact study.

Before the pandemic, the Disneyland resort had 32,000 cast members, Disney-speak for employees. Disneyland laid off at least 11,500 employees and furloughed thousands more during the pandemic. At least 11,000 cast members have been recalled to work as the Southern California parks prepare to reopen.<<

>>Disneyland killed its four-decade-old passholder program and has promised to roll a new membership program. Scarce details about the AP replacement program have left a million passholders — who represent half of Disneyland resort attendance — waiting to see if and when they will be able to get back into the parks.

Capacity constraints will allow Disneyland to test ways of managing crowd sizes using dynamic pricing — charging more for tickets on busy weekends and holidays and less during the middle of the week in the off-season. The goal is simple: Less crowding makes for more enjoyable visits and happier visitors spend more money.<<

>>Disney’s goal is to turn theme park visitors into Disney+ subscribers — and vice versa. Someday soon, what you watch on Disney+ will shape your Disneyland experience. Disney+ shows are expected to bring a flood of characters into the parks and provide inspiration for new attractions, shows and themed lands. A new Magic Kingdom Universe will connect Disney theme parks with Disney+ shows.

Analyst forecast that Disney and other theme park companies will rebound by 2024 or 2025 to levels higher than the pandemic — thanks to the so-called “Roarin’ 20s” effect. By then, we’ll know if the pandemic halted progress for years at Disneyland or fueled the next round of growth.<<

All of this is just regurgitating information that was already known, and engaging in wild speculation in order to sell newspapers. What's the point of continually posting these?

His American first amendment freedom. It's the same freedom that allows you the option to simply not click on the topics and move on to other topics that interest you. I'm interested in this information. Does that make me wrong and you right?

There have been many times that he adds his commentary to the articles. Also, pasting snippets of an article and not the entire article falls under Fair Use Law. It's not copyright infringement. It's also not stealing from revenue since as Darkbeer stated above the articles can be found on all SCNG sites including ones that don't have paywalls.

Edit: You bring up a good point. Blocking people is a freedom too, so @el_super, if you don't like seeing all of Darkbeer's posts, you can always just put him on ignore and they won't have to bother you anymore. Instant topic filter.
