Disney is a bunch of greedy pr*cks

There will come a day when some kind of personal identification device will pair you to technology, it will be required to use tech or to make purchases. Your account will be debited for any copyrighted material you see. Why is digital tracking getting better? Why does your home computer have such security when you're the only one using it? Or want to sync your activity with all your other devices?

I'm not sure "corrupt" is the right way to describe them. It's a for profit juggernaut. They follow the money. Does that necessarily make them corrupt? To some, yes, to some, no. But, it's the American way for sure.

Maybe not corrupt. But certainly greedy.

Indeed. Greed is relative. I think anyone who has a measure of success wants more. Your "greedy" can be someone else's "drive to succeed".

The US is a capitalist nation, and Disney is entitled to make money. But Disney was special in the beginning. They seemed to have a big heart, good morals, and presented uplifting and inspirational material. Now they're all woke, and don't seem to give a crap about where Disney came from. It's all about the money for them now. Squeeze every dime they can from the customers.

The 'woke' thing is a separate thing from the 'greedy' thing....

The weird thing is that the woke thing seems to oppose the greedy thing, at least some of the time.

I disagree. Companies know that if they don't present this "wokeness" they will lose a huge part of their crowd. Which is why they cater to the "woke". They don't necessarily agree with the "wokeness" but they don't want to be canceled, either.
 
Disney isn't woke, whatever that means. Disney just likes to maintain, and when they can, increase their profit margins. It is a company entirely based on greed and profit, just like about every other large corporation in America. They don't have a moral center as a company, just like just about every other major large corporation in America. They exist solely to maximize profits. Period.

That is the 'greedy' thing in action, putting on the mask and pretending they care about the 'woke' thing. Still two separate things....
