Disney Lost $63 Billion in Market Capitalization
Since Going Full Woke in Florida

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/3/2022 9:32:45 PM

The Walt Disney Co. has lost nearly $63 billion in market capitalization since it decided in March to embrace radical LGBTQ activism and declare war on Florida by opposing the state’s Parental Rights in Education law. Shares of Disney have plummeted 23.5 percent since the start of March, falling from $145.70. Market cap is down $62.6 billion, from $265.3 to $202.7 billion. For the past 12 months, Disney has seen its stock drop more than 30 percent, making it the worst performing stock on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Disney’s free fall comes as the company has embraced woke, far-left politics, specifically the exposure of young children to radical LGBTQ ideology.

The CEO should not only be fired, but also sued into abject poverty for gross malfeasance of his fiduciary duty to run the company properly in exchange for the $33 million dollars he pockets in salary, plus whatever other obscene perks and stock options he enjoys. How's that?

Alternatively, some of the trillions that are sent into Washington could flow to Disney which seem to already have decided that innocent fun is too white colonial. Don’t be so sure customers have the upper hand when billions of taxpayer dollars are now a rounding error and corrupt politicians face no consequences for their behavior.

I hope the business world is seeing the big mistake being made. They hire these dopey college kids who bring to the business world the same crappola they did in college. It got them all sorts of admiration there, but in the real world it is considered odious. Here are a few basics for you college kids. Girls in bikinis can sell anything, especially beer. Gays are a turn off. Mixed race couples are a turn off. There do not have to be racial minorities in every single commercial. Fat women can not sell fried chicken, but they cant sell underwear. Feminine hygiene products, erectile products and birth control products have no place in my living room. Stick with those rules and you may be successful.

Never thought I would say this, but I hope Disney sinks back into the swamp from whence it came. Their wokester hierarchy has destroyed Walt’s dream. Anyone who supports that vile wretched company is on the wrong side of this issue. It is our responsibility as parents, grandparents and just decent human beings to protect innocent children from sexualization. Any company or organization that does not understand this basic concept deserves to be cancelled. This disgusting evil is coming for our kids and we must all be diligent to do everything we can to protect them. It is especially egregious when this kind of grooming is done under the auspices of family entertainment specifically geared to children. Disney has destroyed itself and has become the evil villain in the fairy tale they created. Evil very often comes disguised as good and we now know no one does that better than Disney.

There was an article recently which said that Disney has fundamentally shifted its focus from wholesome entertainment for children and families to promoting and re-enforcing woke culture to confused and mixed up young adults. it s a totally different company. They were doing it under the old pretense but the Florida law just exposed them to the general public.

While on the subject of 'fantasies' here my take on Disney the behemoth of entertainment. This is when the fall began. Walt Disney captured the essence of entertainment the family with children. Years that followed an undetected disease crept in, homosexuals. Talented people worked at Disney, but the influence of the disease wasn't detected or just ignored. The perfect storm for grooming and indoctrination was at hand, children and cartoons go together a vehicle for homosexuals. To become woke for such a minority group, to bring down a giant like Disney is heart breaking to most but just realize the cause then walk away remembering Walt Disney.

CEO Chapek's first words out of his mouth was; don't say gay? The legislation is; a parental informed consent in the education curriculum for their minor child. And in supporting the false narrative when asked did he read it he said; no. It is 7 PAGES long! And you get paid multi millions and drop the value of your sharholders $63 billion and can't read! Is he ADHD? Disney is so done!

It couldn't have happened to a better bunch of perverts. Yo, Disney family, Jeffrey Epstein showed you an example of how to make billions of dollars yet you lost a big chunk of your fortune. With your resources you could have bought a large group of islands in the middle of nowhere, bought a fleet of private planes and opened up a whole new facet to your business, Disney's Pedophile Kingdom. All you had to do was borrow the money from one of your customers, Bill Gates. Your marketing people are not very bright.

This company. They were overdue for a huge fall. They buy Star Wars and ruin it. They bought 20th Century Fox, yielding them a lot of products that aren't really appropriate to Disney (like Simpsons and Family Guy). They buy Marvel and everything since Endgame is pretty mediocre, while the comics themselves are dying. They only remake the work of their animators with CGI "live action" movies but have nothing new that's any good. Pixar hasn't had a true hit in ages. Their films may make a profit, even be hits...but are they GOOD? Are they anything that people will remember fondly later? They are far from their 90s renaissance and they need another one. Maybe they might start selling off some things. We can only hope.

If the Disney CEO had bothered to read the Parental Rights in Education law instead of parroting false propaganda against the law, the company would not be in this mess. K through 3rd grade children are so trusting that one could convince them they are really a bunny rabbit in a child's body. The fact that this LGBTQ ideology was being taught to children without their parents knowledge is deplorable.

Addressing the mass-shooting that claimed 21 lives in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday, Department of Public Safety Director Steven McGraw acknowledged Friday that responding officers waited too long to breach the classroom where the killing took place. Speaking to reporters at a press conference held at the scene of the shooting, McGraw said that the on-scene incident commander, Chief of Police Daniel Rodriguez, made the decision to fall back and wait for U.S. Border Patrol Tactical Teams to breach the classroom. McGraw said the decision to delay entering the classroom was mistaken. According to Texas active shooter doctrine, officers are required to make an immediate breach

The majority of voters believe gun violence will increase during President Joe Biden’s tenure, a Politico/Morning Consult poll found Thursday. When respondents were asked whether they believed “there will be more, fewer, or the same amount of incidence [sic] of gun violence” in the “next few years,” 54 percent said there would be more gun violence during that time, which would be during Biden’s presidency. Thirty-four percent said gun violence would remain about the same. Only five percent said they believed gun violence would decrease in the next few years.

Vladimir Lenin supposedly once said, “The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.” There’s some doubt as to whether this line is genuine; regardless, it seems like a pretty good description of what the Biden administration is doing to Ameri ca’s middle class. Inflation is running rampant. The Producer Price Index, the most useful measure of general inflation, is up a whopping 16.3% from April 2021, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That means that roughly $1 out of every $6 that people earn has been lost to inflation in a single year.

Just one week ago, this same pollster offered an outlier single-digit gap for Joe Biden’s job approval rating, 42/50. Suddenly, however, the Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll has Biden at a -23 gap and 36/59 on overall job approval. That puts Reuters/Ipsos on the other side of the outlier category, with a gap fully ten points larger than the latest survey from … Rasmussen Reports. What happened? U.S. President Joe Biden’s public approval rating fell this week to 36%, the lowest level of his presidency, as Americans suffered from rising inflation, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll completed on Tuesday. The two-day national poll found that 59% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s job performance.
