How much money does Bernie have compared to a typical homeless person? Does that seem fair? They’re all human beings and have equal rights to the money that Bernie is hoarding.

So what are Bernie's ideas of "basic living expenses"..?

Owning 3 houses...?

Bernie buys third house

Pretty much 75% of Disneyland's employees are either

-Cashiers or stocking shelves in souvenir shops
-Sweeping floors, taking out trash, hotel maids, or some other form of cleanup crew
-Directing people who are getting on/off rides


Low skill jobs get low level wages. No different for Disney than it is for smaller businesses. Crazy Bernie doesn't understand basic economics.

I have a feeling ABC will not be asking on its nightly news program tonight how Disney can make $9 billion in profits while three-quarters of Disneyland employees can’t afford basic living expenses.

Bernie is a pro at pulling stats out of his arse.

Bob Iger is supposed to be some Democrat powerhouse. Why can't Bernie just talk to him directly?

Does he have some sort of tweet template? Like he just took his tweet about amazon and Bezos and copy and pasted ABC/Disney

Here’s a hint, teke184
You may be right, but you don't know yourself what that breakdown is. Whatever it is, the damn ticket cost has gone way too high.

$1562.00, plus tax, plus parking for 3-day park hopper tickets for a family of four. Want to go for a week? A six day pass for a family of four is $2000.00.

Fifteen years ago we purchased 21 days (x3) of park hopper tickets that were good forever. Paid about $30 a day per ticket. Parking was free. The price now is out of control.

It would give a lot more context on how risky the business is and how sensitive it is to different market factors (and by implication, would tell us a lot more about how much risk the shareholders are taking in deploying their capital with Disney and whether or not $9B profit is a good margin and whether Disney will remain a viable investment in the long run).

It’s the old “greedy Walmart” thing that some progressives put out there without providing the context that Walmart operates in an environment with mostly low single digit margins that is extremely economically sensitive.

Everyone should attack Disney due to their leftist propaganda.

And to be attacked from the far, far left is just icing.

Has Bernie shared a copy of his donations and gifts to the impoverished? I am sure he is letting homeless folks live in his other houses when he isn’t using them, right?

My guess is that a large percentage...maybe not 75%...are seasonal employees.

Dont think he is a communist. Seems more socialist. Whatever, people who truly need help should be helped. People who just want but who are able to work should be left to their own means. Cant have it both ways.

A lot of the park employees and resort employees are imports who are housed in Disney dorms IIRC.


Not to mention many park employees are high school kids and UCF students.

I'm shocked Disney has minimum wage type jobs...shocked

Guys don't confuse Disneyland and Disney World. There is a very big difference between living in California and Florida cost wise. You can't make low-wage and live anywhere in California
