News Disney Earns Spot on TIME's List of 250 Most Iconic American Companies

[JoeCamel]

Not anything that a PR department of a major US corporation wouldn't be willing to do, however...

Would need Mossad level security.
A clandestine auction of the top companies, they would need 1000+ to get down to 250, imagine if just one came out with your story of bidding for ranking.
I doubt a major US corporation (or even a minor) could pull it off nor that any would be so stupid to try.

That would be so much work

Time puts out 4 or 5 of these "List" clickbait pieces a year. It's basically meaningless.

I guess it makes interesting reading in your Dentist's office waiting room if you happened to have left your phone in your car.

So this will give Disney reason for more price increases

 

[Smiley/OCD]

Or perhaps companies paid for better spots?

I agree…if you sit in your doctor’s or dentist’s office and see those “awards” for “Top Rated”… the health professionals PAY the magazine to be listed…the more they pay, the more in depth the description of them and the bigger the feature…it’s a scam.

The sun rising in the morning is all the reason to justify a price hike at Disney.

…and lose more customers…what could wrong?

My dentist has a page in Those in his office with a big shot of him mugging and the caption “voted #1 dentist by his Mom”

It only just occurred to me that we even have 250 known companies. This feels like a finishers medal they give to all 10000 people who paid $120 for a runDisney 5k.

I’m not even sure what an “American” company is anymore? There’s so much international cash in the investors what even qualifies?

 

[JohnD]

Sure, it's on the list due to Walt Disney and his visionary contributions to American and worldwide entertainment since the early 1900s. As for today, not so much.

I feel as though you are being unfair toward the visionary lighting design on display nightly in World Celebration.

Oh, do they have it operating again?........

Fun story…was in geo 82 and they have the “lighted blocks” they so stupidly ripped out of the main path in the floor as you walk in…

Now behind a paywall…if that isn’t classic bob…I don’t know what is?
