#1 GOOD!

#2 ...I am hoping that the Disney employees - and for the record, I've been shiatcanned enough times to truly feel sorry for anyone losing their jobs like this - take the same route that the newly laid-off NPR employees are taking: demand that non-LGBTQPOC employees be laid off FIRST.

Schadenfreude: it's what's for breakfast.

#3 Don't know how many of the laid off Disney employees were in Florida, but the company was only about 1% of the Florida workforce at its peak. In Florida, Walmart employs 108,000 people. Disney employs 80,000.

#4 Wal-Mart surely is spread out all over the state. I suspect that isn't the case with Disney.

I wonder how Euro Disney is doing in France.

No matter. I would be ecstatic to see DIS stock price drop to as close to zero as possible.

#5 Disney is the major employer in deep blue Whorelando. And the support industries there employ many more.

Kill it. Just like the left has tried to do with "Operation Choke Point."

Play their game. By their rules. That's the only way.

#6 Mission Accomplished, right?

You may have lost your job, but a multi-millionaire executive got 15 seconds of twitter fame. Totally worth it.

Think of it as a second chance at college, where you can learn to code.

#7 Maybe they will sell off their classic movie brands to an entity who respects the art.

#8 Libs are always trying to pass ex post facto laws.

Taste of their own medicine: Make all Disney classics public owned.
