Disney’s recent attempt to invoke its terms of use to prevent a lawsuit concerning a tragic allergy-related death is a blatant display of corporate greed and insensitivity. The fact that they would try to shield themselves from accountability in such a heart-wrenching situation is despicable. The argument that by merely signing up for Disney+ or purchasing theme park tickets, individuals waive their right to a jury trial is preposterous. It is a clear abuse of power and an attempt to evade responsibility.
The case of Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan’s death due to severe allergies at a restaurant in Disney Springs, a third-party operated venue, is indeed tragic, but it is Disney’s response that is truly appalling.… Continue reading
I can’t help but feel a deep sense of empathy for the individuals who were misled and coerced by Disney into relocating to Florida, only for the planned campus to be canceled soon after. The stories of employees selling their homes, uprooting their families, and moving across the country based on the promises made by the company are heartbreaking. It’s a stark reminder of the harsh realities of corporate loyalty and the extent to which some companies will go to achieve their goals, regardless of the impact on their employees.
The idea that employees were asked to move even before the construction of the new campus had begun is mind-boggling.… Continue reading
Disney’s feud with DeSantis has come to an end, and surprise, surprise, they’re back to donating to Republicans. It’s no secret that large corporations like Disney prioritize profits over all else. The recent donations to Republicans, including those who supported the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida, just serves as a reminder of where their allegiances truly lie.
Many people had high hopes that Disney’s public opposition to the bill would lead to lasting change. But alas, it seems that the allure of political donations and maintaining good relations with DeSantis was too enticing for them to pass up. This whole situation just goes to show that when push comes to shove, corporations will always prioritize their bottom line.… Continue reading
Backed by Elon Musk, Gina Carano has decided to sue Disney over her firing from the hit series ‘The Mandalorian.’ I have to say, I find this whole situation quite fascinating. Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur known for his controversial statements and actions, is now supporting someone who believes they were wrongfully terminated. It’s ironic considering Musk’s own track record with firing employees over tweets.
Carano, who was also starring in movies produced by conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, seemed to be doing just fine financially. So the fact that she’s taking this legal route is perplexing. The silliest part of her lawsuit, in my opinion, is that she wants the court to force Disney to recast her.… Continue reading
Judge Dismisses Disney’s Lawsuit Against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and His Allies
As I read through the judgment of the recent lawsuit between Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a flood of thoughts and opinions raced through my mind. It is undeniable that this case has sparked controversy and drawn strong reactions from people on both sides of the political spectrum. Before delving into my own personal insights, let’s take a closer look at the judge’s reasoning.
The judge concluded that Disney lacked standing to sue DeSantis and the Secretary of Florida’s Department of Commerce. The relief sought by Disney could only be applied to future harm, and the harm alleged by Disney either related to past actions or lacked evidence of DeSantis’s control over the oversight board.… Continue reading
I must say, I am absolutely baffled by the recent dismissal of Disney’s lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The judge in question, Allen Winsor, claims that Disney lacks legal standing to sue on the grounds of First Amendment violations, despite acknowledging the significant harm that the legislation has caused to the company. It’s truly mind-boggling.
I would love for someone with a legal background to explain this to me. How can Disney, a corporation that has clearly been negatively impacted by these laws, not have standing to sue? It seems absurd. And why is it that they can’t even regain control of their own district?… Continue reading
