You must be one of the elite who drinks 20 year old wine.

Real men drink beer. Therefore, real men no longer drink Bud Lite. It’s the beer of Trans men.

No. Real men drink whiskey.

No. Real men drink whiskey.

Well, I have to admit I drink whiskey and beer. My everyday beer is Coors Lite but I also like Guinness Stout with a good meal. I like Jim Beams whiskey.

so why are you against Disney paying their fair share? YOU JUST ARGUED that many other companies should do so. Why do you want to exempt Disney from that?

WHY DON'T YOU WANT OTHER COMPANIES TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE?

 

[Batcat]

Keep pretending that believing in science and free will is bad “woke”. You’ll lose another election. Women are turning in droves away from the right, white idiot.

I believe in free will but I also feel parents have the right to raise their children. They do not belong to the state. I don’t want any teacher trying to convince my two great grandchildren who are boys that they should have been girls. Once they are fully mature they can make that decision for themselves.

Science will tell you that you can’t make a man a woman.

Patter recognition should tell you that when the MSM media is screaming about something, it's BS.

Disney isn’t killing Florida jobs over Ron DeSantis — but to save itself​

Bob Iger is more than just Disney’s CEO; he’s also a progressive and a shadow member of Sleepy Joe Biden’s Cabinet, which is why he’s trying to stick the knife into Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his looming run to be the GOP nominee in 2024.

Like everyone else on Team Biden, Iger knows that the brain-addled president’s best chance to win re-election isn’t against the successful two-term governor who turned a purple state staunchly red.

It’s against one man and one man only — the volatile, conspiracy-mongering, baggage-carrying former president, Donald Trump.

That’s why Iger is trying to spin what everyone on Wall Street and inside Disney knows is a simple cost-cutting move into some noble act of defiance and throw shade on Joe Biden’s worst nightmare in 2024.

The same women can fight for the nation when the time comes. Social justice rights were won over a half century ago. Unfortunately, we had to destroy white males to get agendas done. And white males who are stupid and have good employment screwed with others to turn them against them. Live by a code. If someone of any power screws with you, watch them die and never help them if it comes to it. This nation has more than two sides. It has tens of millions of gremlins reeking of vengeance in a silent way.

When the government singles out only one entity, creating a special law that only applies to it, after it criticized a law...then it has nothing to do with "paying its fair share". You know that.

Is Disney not paying it's fair share? What IS a "fair share"? It has to be defined (because it isn't really about that)

Florida offers significant tax breaks to businesses in order to attrct them and retain them. Florida has over 1800 special tax districts. Are they paying their "fair share"?

Florida special tax districts like Disneyâs Reedy Creek, explained

Hillsborough County has more special districts than any other county in Florida.

If Disney is no different, then why is it being singled out?

That is a rhetorical question, we all know why. Hell, I'm not even a Disney fan, but to use their legislative power to punish a company solely for exercising its free speech rights, is wrong. Why do you support that?

Read his post again, you whiffed on it. He clearly did not say that

Now you are just trolling.

Which you just called "trolling"

That is irrelevant. I clearly did not say what he claimed so accuracy is not important.

You said this "WHY DON'T YOU WANT OTHER COMPANIES TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE?"

Show where he said he wants that. I read back a couple pages, he didn't

You don't see the quote I'm asking you about that is copied in my post? Seriously? I quoted you and said I'm challenging this quote, the one I quoted, what don't you understand about that?

 

[FA_Q2]

I don't need to show anything about "motivation" to wonder why leftists are against Disney paying their "fair share"

Leftists LOVE to talk about that shit, until it's a company they support having to do it. Then all of a sudden its a terrible thing.

DeSantis motivation could be to make cotton candy on Mars. thats irrelevant. If the END RESULT is Disney having to pay their fair share......why are leftists all of a sudden against that? seeing how they've been preaching (and continue to preach) thats a GREAT thing whenever other companies are involved.

You can think whatever you want but that does not change the fact that the government cannot use its power to punish political actions taken by companies.

That you like the end result does not justify the means to get there. You realize we learned this lesson a LONG time ago - virtually no one is thinks the ends justify the means. Is that a position that you are seriously taking?

The stock loses of 50 billion dollars were MUCH bigger than the streaming losses. of 1.5 billion.

Disney Ekes Out Slim Profit as Streaming Losses Grow

Disney's continued investment in streaming limited its fourth-quarter profit

variety.com

Walt Disney Co, said continued heavy investment in its streamingbusiness held its profit-making ability in check during its fiscal fourth quarter, part of the media giant’s ongoing effort to reshape its operations for a world increasingly dominated by broadband-delivered media.

The Burbank, CA owner of the ABC television network, the Pixar movie studio and the Disney+ and Hulu streaming hubs said Tuesday that net income from continuing operations was essentially flat, rising just 1% to $162 million, compared with $160 million in the year-earlier period. The results come after Disney saw an operating loss in its streaming operations of $1.5 billion — $800 million more than the year-earlier quarter. The company said the loss was due to a higher loss at Disney+ and a decrease in results at Hulu.

Disney LOSES nearly $50 billion in stock value since waging war against Florida’s anti-grooming law

Disney’s stock pummeling happened as DeSantis revoked Disney World’s special self-governing status.

Actually the losses might have been worse.

Woke Fail: Disney Lost $123 Billion in Market Value in 2022 as Shares Drop 44 Percent -- Worst Year Since 1974

The Walt Disney Co. saw $123 billion of its market value evaporate in 2022 as its stock dropped 44 percent amid profitability concerns, CEO musical chairs, and a suicidal embrace of woke identity politics.

....

This post make me think you do not know what stocks are or what stock losses mean.

You have no clue how any of this works or what any of those terms even mean.

Is Disney not paying it's fair share? What IS a "fair share"? It has to be defined (because it isn't really about that)

we need liberals to tell US that....since its always liberals screaming that certain people aren't paying it!!!!

Florida offers significant tax breaks to businesses in order to attrct them and retain them. Florida has over 1800 special tax districts. Are they paying their "fair share"?

again, tell me a specific company and lets discuss.

so why don't you want Disney to pay their fair share?

Why don't you want those 1800 other special districts to pay their fair share? (using your "logic" here)

Why do you think Disney doesn't?

I can't answer your question because you are claiming something I haven't said.

It is up to YOU to define "fair share" because YOU made a point of it.

"Fair share" is something you idiots make up as you go along.

DeSantis opposes teachers pushing sexual orientation and gender identity on young children. I agree with DeSantis and feel Disney should stay out of the controversy. I don’t want some teacher messing with my great grandchildren’s sexual orientation or gender identity as they are not mature.
