On layoffs, very bad attendance, and Iger's legacy being one of disgrace

[Parker in NYC]

My son went on a trip to Europe (high school class) his only comment about the French(Paris) they were nasty and mean said he would never go back.

Sounds like Boston. (Sorry, I'm a New Yorker... it's in my blood).

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Is this going to turn into another anti- American thread. If Europe does things so much better why don’t you all just move there.

...well their covid numbers are much better
(I’m kidding...off topic. But I have to acknowledge how whiney you post was somehow )

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

That's pretty much my opinion of the Philadelphia area, where I grew up.

You would be correct

Sounds like Boston. (Sorry, I'm a New Yorker... it's in my blood).

Well now we just built the walls of glass didn’t yous?

Just no Wawa in Paris

I love Paris. But it's true, the lack of Wawas should be a dealbreaker if I weren't so drunk on booze and brie. Mostly booze.

 

[DisneyDebRob]

Du Hast?

No love for Scorpions or Falco?

Tons of love for both of them, but Liebe ist fur alle da.. well my head is going is rocking just thinking about it. Think I may go take a listen now.. thanks. Lol

I'm a NYer too...I lived in Boston for 7 years, good people...if you stay out of certain areas East of the city.

Patisseries in Paris are the second greatest thing In world history...
...street crepe stands are the first.

I love wawa as much as any...but I still think they’re overrated.

...but since you brought it up - I want cappuccino and I have 5 wawas within 2.5 miles

...that’s like saying “if you stay out of 4 of 5 boroughs...and everything north of 85th and south of 17th street in Manhattan...New York is a lovely town”

Better get back to Loew's for more. I could diss a bunch of other places... I do, however, have a great love for NJ, PA, and the parts of CT that aren't so uptight that a lump of coal would turn into a diamond in two weeks after being shoved up their alley. Thank you, Ferris Bueller fans.

That's very much an American mentality. Visitors at the Tokyo parks have worn masks for decades, including during summer, without complaining.

In America it is common sense that a mask is not necessary when biking, running or simply hiking on a trail and no one is within 100yds of you or when immersed or doused in chlorinated water while in the sun. There is a time and place for everything.

Or partying, walking with food or drink, or hanging out on the beach within spitting distance of one another, or sitting together on mass transit, or once you've made it into a place requiring masks and then taking them off at your leisure once you've made it through the doors, or huddling around together in the park, or playing sports in a group, or hanging outside of a bar.

Other than that, yeah... common sense in America!

It's like a forum, as long as you stay out of certain threads it's a nice place to hang out...

 

[Miss Bella]

Because we literally can't right now.

You could of 6 months ago what stopped you?

At least It didn’t sound arrogant

 

[Miss Bella]

We can’t.. not allowed in because we are on the ban list because they handled Covid better. Whoops.

You should have gone when you had the chance.

What about all those anti lockdown protests going on in Berlin? I don’t think Americans are the only ones over it.

I have and Aunt and Uncle who retired from NYC public schools who would agree as well. They live in Staten Island.

I had more faith in our health institutions and our governments willingness to help Americans.

Damn...what did I mess up?

You should have gone when you had the chance.

But ‘Merica would be less awesome without DDR

Yeah...but Germans are generally more efficient/intelligent about things...

Yeah. If there's one thing us Americans are known for, it's common sense!
