| Disney Will Lay off 28,000 Employees as California Governor Refuses to Provide Reopening Guidelines |
| 2020-09-30 |
| [RedState] The fallout from COVID closures continues unabated. On Tuesday the Disney corporation announced they would be laying off 28,000 employees, about 67% of whom are part-time employees. Disney’s greatest financial struggle has been in their California theme parks. Nearly every other Disney property in the world has reopened (many with curbed attendance caps). California Governor Gavin Newsom retains one-man control over every aspect of life and work in the state and yet refuses to offer one of the largest and most influential job providers in California any guidelines they can be working toward in order to reopen. Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, sent an email to Disney employees Tuesday afternoon explaining that with no hope for opening the Anaheim park in sight, some tough changes would have to be made.

| #13 Micky Mouse and Pluto have my sympathies. The Governor and the CEO are just useless clowns. |

| #12 Meanwhile, Gov., Coronavirus Bell Curve shows cases slightly declining and deaths way down. Maybe it's time to adjust your 'rules of engagement'. |

| #10 Sorry about the workers but it warms the cockles of my cold, black heart to see Disney taking it in the seat of the pants. |

| #9 So more poor people collecting welfare in California, and more packing their cars and escaping east, where there are plenty if jobs to be had. |

| #7 Crazy Fool, first we have to amend the 13th adornment to exempt "Green New Deal Employees" form it. Not slaves for heaven's sake but individuals who are helping us not use all those greenhouse gas producing machines! |

| #4 Amazes me why any self-respecting business would remain in California. I suppose it is because they are politically well-connected there. A state with a GDP in the top 10 or 20 in the world, IIRC, being destroyed from within. |

| #3 Since Disney can't reopen in CA, I'd suggest moving the whole kit & caboodle elsewhere; join Tesla in TX, whatever - just GTFO while there's anything of value left. |

| #2 And somehow this is Trump's fault. Boggles the mind. |

| #1 The Left only knows how to destroy not create, other than more bureaucratic government jobs. |
