The classic dilemma they teach in business school. Is it worth it to alienate the customers we need to sustain our business so that we can appease a treasonous child raping shit bag that will continually shake us down for more cash, especially if we easily fold and show we won't put up a fight?
There's no way Disney is going to pay 'less' under Trump. The fact that they couldn't realize that from an Au away is mind boggling
He...himself is rich he's fine he knows this. Fuck part of me thinks a tiny little piece of him might have enjoyed the time off....and almost wished it'd last a bit longer who the hell knows.
However he knows he has staff that need the income from that job in order to provide for their families.
He should gild the stage like Stewart did. In fact all the late night hosts should just become parody Trump propaganda shows. I honestly think that would increase all their ratings and maximally piss Trump off.
As a shareholder, I agree. The boards actions show that their priorities don't align with shareholder profits, American ideals, or a worthwhile moral footing. In a just world, they would be stripped of all of their assets, and given a stipend to live in an apartment that can be afforded in the lowest paying wage their old company offered, doing that job, day in, and day out, until they reach the same retirement age everyone else has to, or the pension age, if the company has one(spoiler, they don't). Make them unable to accept money from outside accounts, and monitor their savings like you would a disabled person on Medicare. If they make too much, they go to prison, or have the extra seized.
Being a CEO who has the power of themselves as a person, and the power of a corporation as a ubiquitous person free of liability and direct punishment, it should be an incredibly high risk, high reward proposal. You want the the 100 million a year payout for a position, that literally anyone could do? Then fine, failure means becoming the lowest tier your company has. If anything you'll see higher wages across the board. It would be stupid to not hedge your bets
The sad thing is that now people think they should go back to Disney, as if the issue is gone now? As if removing the symptom takes away the illness. I say boycott forever. They showed their true colors.
The major networks do still own a few of their own stations, normally the flagship stations in NY and LA. In ABC's case, they have a subsidiary which directly owns 8 stations:
Well, by definition, indefinitely mean a timeline that is not defined. It could have been indefinitely and back on the air later that night and still have been 'indefinitely' if that hadn't been decided beforehand.
I still wouldnt be watching. I'll just watch a YouTube clip that's uploaded by a third party not affiliated with Disney.
Disney let their mask slip. Kimmel returning is a joke and goes to show that he is doing this purely for the money. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't return and do a Conan-esque travel show. Let Disney swim in their pile of shit and have entertainers distance themselves from a fascist company.
Kimmel returning is a joke and goes to show that he is doing this purely for the money.
That's maybe the reason he was doing the show previously. Now he has an opportunity to prove it's for more than that. I hope when he comes back tonight he comes back harder and more offensive, doing his best to provoke the administration. Make ABC grow a pair and fight to prove their support of freedom.

Conan paid his staff out of his own pocket during Covid. But it got no press. If Kimmel has the means he could send a powerful message.

I worry Mr Kimmel will have to make a big apology and sign some self-gag order, just to his team and crew can work.
It'll become super milquetoasty for a painful partial season before it dies of ratings.
