Disney not subject to Anaheim’s ‘living wage’ ballot measure, judge rules - OCR/SCNG

Nobody, unless Disney increases its wages.

Isn’t that what you’re against!? Haha

That's a problem really only exclusive to California. California has the highest gas prices in the nation due to the highest gas taxes and an unwillingness by Sacramento to allow private companies to drill for oil in the vast known oil fields of central and southern California, or to allow exploration for new oil fields in the state. And there is objection to building a pipeline into California from the very productive giant oil fields of Texas, so most oil in California comes from OPEC nations on the other side of the world and must be shipped here via ocean tankers.

If Marlene needs to fill up her tank after her churro shift, prices in Anaheim range from $4.69 to $5.49 per gallon today.

If Marlene worked at Six Flags Over Texas near Dallas, there's a Sinclair station across the street selling regular for $2.59 per gallon today.

If Marlene worked at Epcot Center, there's a Shell station just across the freeway from WDW reporting prices of $2.97
per gallon today.

To fill up the 13 gallon tank in Marlene's Toyota Corolla, it would cost her this much at these locations after her churro shift;

Disneyland = $65
Six Flags Texas = $33
Epcot Center = $38

It maybe evens out. Gas is cheaper in Orlando but the central AC is running pretty much 24/7 during most of the year. That's an expensive monthly electric bill that I doubt someone who works at DLR pays.

Why would I be against an employer freely choosing to raise their wages? If Disney wants to spend more money on their employees, that’s their money and their choice. Nobody should force them to pay a certain wage.

Nope.

In-Depth: Why Californians pay so much more for gasoline, and it's not taxes

Refinery costs, gas station fees, and state taxes all contribute to the high price, but the single largest factor is the cost of crude oil, which varies around the country.

Just in case the context got lost here - Anaheim's Measure L - the living wage initiative, only applies to businesses that had received subsidies from the City of Anaheim. Seems pretty fair to suggest that if a company takes something from a city (like a parking structure), the city can ask for something back (in the form of higher paying jobs).

Nobody forced Disney to ask for subsidies from the city either.

Second highest in taxes, and highest costs due to enacted policies in practically every single facet of fuel production forcing our gas idiotically high.
