We’ve seen how companies like Bud Light and Target have taken a severe hit for the various ways in which they have bought into the woke mind virus. Bud Light has now even been hit by the Costco “Death Star,” which means they’re in deep trouble.
Speaking of trouble, let’s look at Disney.
A week ago, I wrote about how Disney had lost almost a billion dollars by going woke on some of their recent films. Megyn Kelly laid out some of that evidence showing that we’re winning against the woke when it comes to Disney, too. She explained how they lost about $900 million

The big money at Disney is made at the parks and cruises. "Content" money (tv, movies) is marketing expense for the parks and cruises. "Woke" marketing will sell Hermes bags to progressive centi-millionaires+, but they don't vacation at theme parks and cruises unlike millions of middle class people offended by "woke" who might aspire to a once in a lifetime purchase of an outlet Coach handbag and an occasional trip to Orlando.

This is one of the problems of hiring Ivy League liberals to run your business. For people who claim to be so enlightened, they tend to be the most provincial people you'll ever meet. They wouldn't think twice about the price, so what's the problem? Everyone spends thousands on a family vacation, right?
I had a relative who met some editors from a big publishing house at a conference. Somehow, the topic got to coupons. Not only did the editors have no clue what they were, but the general response was, "Well, just give your maid more money when they go to the store so you don't have waste time cutting them."

A billion here, a billion there...pretty soon you're talking real mania. Maybe the stockholders should move for a conservator-ship.

Can a gov’t bailout be far behind? Under the ‘too big to fail’ rubric.

Bud light, Disney, Target are nothing but pawns is this “ram it down their throat” woke game
The real “woke masters” are the social media networks that keep it in your face 24 hours a day.
Even your computer is guilty, have you tried to visit a site , SUV’s virtually given away? Home remedies to cure ailments only to listen to a “DR” for 45 minutes only to try to sell some worthless product?
GOD help America

We were fans for years. Bought Vacation Club early, in 1992 and had 1,000 points at one point. Both kids got married there (destination weddings). We live in FL now and everyone had FL resident annual passes, but we are done. Bad enough when one year, grandchild with June birthday wanted to go to WDW and we ran into “Gay Days” which was bad enough. Then the woke got worse and worse, So now, sold all the Vacation Club points, no more annual passes (thanks to Disney greed), so we are done. The grandkids have Universal and Busch Gardens annual passes and you could not pay me to drive I-4 to Disney. RIP Disney..

Back in 1969 when I was 16, a young neighbor boy took me to Disneyland
in Anaheim, CA. His hair was a little long, touching his collar. They almost
didn’t let us in and we were followed for the first hour. I guess they wanted
to make sure we weren’t troublemakers. But we had a wonderful time! It wasn’t that crowded and there were no terribly long lines. The food and entertainment were enjoyable. There were no obvious gay characters or gay themed anything that I was aware of. Nowadays, if I was a parent or grandparent of young children, I don’t think I would want them to go. As a matter of fact, I doubt that I’ll ever feel like going again.

Sadly, the only thing that Disney seems to "find" after from disaster after woke disaster is that they obviously aren't woke enough. If they were just "woker", then they would be finding massive success!!!
I don't know what is more prevalent at Disney these days, pure evil or massive insanity. I'm guessing both!!! You find a better explanation for how they could follow up the woke disaster of making Ariel in "The Little Mermaid" remake into a black femi-Nazi woke girl, with the even more woke disaster the upcoming remake of "Snow Brown and the 7 Freaks" promises to be!!!!!

#6 makes an important point that needs emphasis:
Grandparents are footing the bill for many of these vacations, merchandise and even movie tickets. And grandparents are pretty good at closing their wallets when they choose to.
Yet Disney has been offending them, disparaging them, even as they jack up the fees.
Oldsters (including me) can be slow to pull the plug on long-favored brands, like Gillette, and habits, like visiting Disney, but when we do, we don't go back.
The corporate wokesters keep expecting these "boycotts" to blow over in a few weeks. Bud Light expected a rebound by the July 4th weekend.
But I myself will never use a Gillette product or sip an Anheuser-Busch product or pick up the tab for ANYTHING Disney. And I am very happy I sold DIS when this started erupting.
And now they're replacing the Seven Dwarfs with Magical Creatures? Doesn't anyone there remember the First Rule of Holes?
I think they completely misjudged not just their audience, but those who so often pick up the tab for that audience.

These companies have to openly admit that their wokeadoodle-doo is doo-doo and that it not only hasn’t worked, but it’s destroying every business that dares trying to sell it to those of us who don’t live on American’s wokey coasts and cities.

Disney is one of the world's most evil corporations and must be driven out of business.
The cause of Freedom needs scalps nailed to the wall.

If you're a tranny you are LESS than 2 % (way less) of the population. The other 98% don't want to hear it and 80% or ( in tranny math terms 4 out of five ) think you're sickos.
Buy all the BL you want. We've found some better stuff. Modelo.

And what did the Board of Directors do? The same Board that is supposed to look out for Investors? That Board brought BACK the former CEO, and Chairman of the Board (uh-hmm), Bob Iger, who was forced to retire due to a constitutional age limit AND they recently RENEWED his executive contract for another 3 years! The same guy who set Disney up for failure, and allowed it to blow up under his successor, has now come back on a white horse to be the business "hero" to save the day. The only problem for Iger is that he can't put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Disney will be selling everything soon for pennies on the dollar just to keep the amusement parks afloat. He will forever go down in history as the worst thing to ever happen to Disney. He's another Jack Welch of GE fame, who left a time bomb to explode under his successor, Jeff Immelt.

I've never been to a Disney Park even when I was in the Navy stationed in the Bay Area back the 90s. No cruises in the near future. and of course, the Disney stores in the local malls are now closed. I also cancelled my Disney Plus subscription back in 2020 due the company's stance on homosexual "marriage." Now not only have they've gone full woke-tard with the trans-movement I read that they blocked the release of the movie Sound of Freedom. Disney needs to cancelled as it's nothing but a pro-groomer operation disguised as a happy place for children at this point.
