It's not like Disney to MAGA. But they are today.

Maybe they woke up after those entitled shite stains protested and blocked the entrance to Disneyland yesterday.

But the idgits on here told me the only people getting bonuses were utility companies that benefited from Net Neutrality.

Before I rub this in anyone elses face, does anyone know if this was planned before or if its specifically due to tax reform?

Planned before? As in, "if this happens, we could do this?" Yes, I'm sure, in that very thin way, this was planned before.

If this was planned before Trump's tax reform law then Disney's CEO, Bob Iger, has terrible timing in announcing it. He is a huge Democrat donor, discussed potential Democrat presidential nominee, and has been very outspoken against President Trump and his policies. Yet, he chose to announce this previously planned action at a time he knows Trump will (begrudgingly) get credit for creating the business climate that allows it? Get real.

What happened here is that with the wave of large corporations giving their workers bonuses and pay raises after the tax reforms became law, Iger, who has long been pushing the narrative of "living wages", income equality, etc., couldn't afford to not do the same and expose himself and Disney as hypocrites

No, this was clearly planned before. I mean, what better time to spend $125 million on bonuses to employees than during the Obama era with a 42% corporate income tax rate?

Are you really questioning this or are you just being facetious?

The expected synergies to come from Disney’s $52.4 billion purchase of most of Twenty-First Century Fox’s assets could mean job cuts of between 5,000 and 10,000 at the Mouse House once the deal closes, one media analyst said.
