Why does this concern you so much? As you have repeatedly told individuals over the past few days, if you don't like what is being discussed, ignore it and don't comment. All it does is add to your negative, trollish personna.But folks are so focused on small stuff (TTA's or JC's new spiel, monorail colors, the freaking planter being built in front of Space Mountain, paint at EPCOT etc) they absolutely miss the big picture.
For a company that deals in a completely discreationary product that has no bearing on basic quality of life, I have trouble seeing the problem with that.Of course it affects Disney, jake.
But see Wall Street doesn't care. It is the never-satiated beast. It constantly wants more money, more profit. Real world circumstances don't matter. So, while an average American can lose an $80,000 a year job with benefits and be working temp jobs for $9 an hour, Disney can't make less profit. That's not allowed. Not in our 'not perfect, but it's the best system in the world bs' economy.
Statements like these falsely tie two unrelated issues together under a generic unbrella. People losing their jobs at other companies have nothing to do directly with Disney's profit. It's faulty transitive logic. McDonalds is unhealthy. McDonalds serves salads. Salads are therefore unhealthy. It's the same thing: People have lost jobs because of Wall St. Disney is a publicly traded company on Wall St. Disney is responsible for national job loss.
Maybe in this case, but you don't know all things about Disney, as much as you like to think that you do.With all due respect, that's a crock. Some of us do know enough to call a spade a spade.
We had to let a great employee go at my company recently because he was slowly going crazy (figuratively) and had a declining quality of work. He was well liked and no one except the 5-6 people involved in his termination knew the reason. Most of his co-workers and friends questioned our decision, but we didn't say anything, it's not our place.
Unless you work for the company, which every indication is you don't, your information is always at least second hand.
So yeah, you might know more, but that doesn't prove in any way that what you know is accurate regarding the reasons (facts are usually indisputable), in general.
I think it is pretty obvious by now who has issues around here.You may not like it, but it doesn't matter. Oh yeah, but you've got issues because some Spirits may have had a burger grilled by a Disney Legend!
And now that we've thrown a couple of jabs at each other, thank you for excluding me (for once) from that group. :wave:I usually believe in not offering my opinions when I am clueless about what is being discussed. That seems to not stop folks here ... and of course, I'm not talking about YOU, but just in general!
