"Running businesses more effectively" in others words

There is no doubt that this will lead to Disney and every other company reevaluating their businesses to be better prepared for the aftermath of Covid-19 and future events. It wouldn’t make sense to do anything less and you don’t need an Iger statement to know that. Excess overhead, fixed costs, bloated staffing levels, and vulnerability have to be looked at by every company.
It's a double-edged sword to be sure but the cost savings over the long run will be too tempting for many.
Actually it was a strong recommendation from the start- NOT a law and NOT explicitly required per the article. What changed afterward is the enforcing. And really-5 or 6 or more officers to enforce it? Excessive force anyone? And yeah- see this carried out at Disney? Nope.
A business can be a good steward morally and ethically and still be profitable you know. Having record breaking profits just for the sake of record breaking profits is unsustainable.

If the guy had calmly gotten off the bus there would not have been any incident. Why do some people in our society feel the need to cop an attitude with the police. More than likely they would have given him a mask and he would be on his way. I don't blame the police at all
Nope. You are wrong. Attached is the original order from SEPTA which went into effect several days before the incident. It was not just a recommendation, they were requiring all riders to wear face coverings. The bus driver was following his employer’s policy when reporting the guy. As far as police response, how was that excessive? 5 or 6 officers are there to make sure it doesn’t have to turn excessive. If there’s 1 cop who beats the guy with a knight stick and drakes him off the bus that’s excessive. They asked him to leave first (so did the driver before he called the cops). When he refused what are they supposed to do? They pulled him off the bus without hitting him or throwing him to the ground and let him go as soon as he was removed. Seemed pretty clean to me.

The driver did ask him to get off first before the cops were ever called. 3 SEPTA workers so far have died from this virus so it’s not surprising to see the driver actively enforcing their policy.
How do you know that didn’t happen? There’s no video from when the driver asked him to wear the mask or leave. Once the police arrived the guy was getting booted. He was acting belligerent and screaming and yelling. At that point it’s a safety issue for the other riders and the driver.

Whether it happened or not is really beside the point. You can’t expect a bus driver to have masks for everyone who rides the bus. Should he carry extra shirts and shoes with him too since you can’t ride the bus without a shirt or shoes? At some point people need to be accountable for their own actions and they need to follow rules. If they don’t there are consequences. Too many snowflakes out their who think the rules don’t apply to them. That’s why mask requirements will never work.
