That hasn’t been an issue. I’ll let you know if it is. My kids play outside with their friends , not sit around being fat and playing video games and watching cartoons. And they  don’t watch TV at birthday parties. The rest of time they are at sports or other activities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 4,256 Posted April 16, 2023 Gisney should weather the storm and be just fine. Maybe they tone down their marketing toward the mentally ill, but I think there are enough idoctrinated people populating these companies to ensure their bottom line is hurt here and there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Within society today we have the rebirth of the maoist approach toward society, you will always have people who think they can reinvent humans. These people today are commonly referred to as "woke", a term they appropriated from the AA community and which was used by that community to encourage educational exploration, but is now maligned by those who want to fabricate a fantasy world. We see more and more of this from companies as this youth enters the workplace and propogates really bad ideas into corporate america. This attemping bleeding of lines between private, public, government and corporate is not that great of an idea. But those now indoctrinated by the farcical world pushed upon them at universities beleive they have the only right answer, and nothing else can be right....its narcissim and not all that great for society. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But when they are actually presented with people actively trying to usurp democracy in real time they sit there and say "Oh they were just touring the building the taking pictures." So that leaves us with: Rally outside the capitol and then enter the capitol to intimidate, threaten, and temper tantrum to overturn election results- perfectly fine. Speak out about a bill that affects the state where you operate a large portion of your company- "Stop trying to usurp democracy." Not to mention- as you alluded to- plenty of companies give to both sides of the political spectrum because that's how they get business done. (See the Bud Light stuff trying to be ended by Trump Jr. because Anheuser Busch is a massive contributor to the Republican cause.) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Missed it.  When the Florida legislature, elected by the people, and the governor, also elected by the people, passed the dont say gay bill, Disney said they would work to get it overturned.  That’s how. Not get people elected, but actually overturn the will of the people of the great state of Florida. I already cover this numerous times in this very thread , Shooter.
