vs a nebulous argument towards the impact of moral decision making on profitability.
No, its that vs the clearly expected consumer response, which has a permanent brand impact and a short term subscriber/vacationer/etc impact, not to mention the 2% drop in stocks (an over $4b impact).
Ignoring ethics, this was a bad business decision. The long term impact is obviously not yet known, but the short term impact was rapid and strong.
Disney management has a fiduciary responsibility they cannot ignore.
Sorry, but this is a complete misunderstanding of how this works.
Recognizing that pulling Kimmel’s show would result in severe harm to the brand, short term and long term, matches that responsibility as well. Shareholders can even make the decision to claim the board (and specifically Iger) were in violation of their duties with this decision. The blowback was obvious and expected.
They absolutely are at fault.
There isn’t much to it. Its up here:
Thats… Just fucking devastating.
I hate this. I hate this so much.
the article makes it clear this is suspected suicide but that the police / FBI are keeping open minds because of the obvious connotations.
Just so you know, the cops have said quite specifically they don’t think it was anything but suicide.
Its also a heavily racist area and no one should trust cops in the first place, making for a bad combo. Thats why the family will want an autopsy from someone independent of the police.
No, you’ve got that wrong.
There will be plenty “originating” (at least on paper) from Israel, just not arriving (or not getting to anyone who needs it at least).
This is about boosting the economy.
Much more like it!
Still not anywhere near that maga territory though, gotta get all that on one car, plus some paint jobs for permanence and that flag pole needs to be permanently mounted to be remotely close to… Even 2016 maga.
But a much better attempt than I have seen before! Well done.
Their car:
Thats all removable.
Edit: To be clear, I mean that doesnt even survive rain. Its soap. And tape. Not a sticker, not a paint job, and not even a single flagpole!
Closer! But not remotely near what maga territory looks like.
Their costume
A hat and a T-shirt… Still seems a little bit like just regular stuff you see at a rally or convention…
Their every day wear:
Ah, t-shirts again. Not a vest with 80 patched on it that say Kamala, no coverage in ridiculous flags…hell, no Kamala tattoos in sight!
Sorry, none of that is remotely close yet. I appreciate the effort though!
I’ve seen houses set up the same way and clothing merch with all the nonsense
Really? I haven’t. Not once.
Should be easy to share a picture demonstrating that then, right?
Something like:
Edit: The last time I asked this question, I was shown a tshirt, a hat, and a banner about Gavin Newsom poking fun at Trump, as three separate photos. The T-shirt wasn’t even on a person.
If its so common, surely there must be some pictures.
If I search for “maga house”, “maga car”, “maga outfit”, etc, I will get a very specific set of images. Pages after pages of them.
Can you please demonstrate equivalents of what this “blue maga” looks like for those searches?
In the second case, there’s fuckery by the coroner.
I don’t think gross incompetence would be entirely unexpected! But it would put really heavy lean into the ‘fuckery’ bucket, definitely.
People have this kind of knee-jerk “the system is going to lie about everything” reaction which sometimes makes them kind of throw up their hands on the concept of every getting to the bottom of anything
I understand, and I wasn’t saying that so much as “Ugh, I really hope this doesn’t get handled poorly”. What I was saying - for clarity - is there is a long history of racism there and enough is off about this to make me put on my “worried” hat. That I would feel more assured about how this would be handled if there were more trustworthy folks involved, but thats unfortunately not an option given the current administration, instead needing to wait not just for the coroner to finish, but for the family to receive his body and have the unpleasant experience of potentially needing to get their own specialist to take a look.
Even just the prospect of a family needing to verify the report is an upsetting reality.
I wasn’t having an argument.
I agreed with you. And then I said I have little trust in those responsible for handling things, making it a concern.
Then you seemed to completely misunderstand what I said, so I clarified.
Not everything is an argument, sometimes a comment is just additional thoughts.
I understood entirely.
What I said was there is entirely the possibility of “Oops! His body went to the furnace instead”, or “oh no! The body was mishandled and fell”, or a whole variety of other things.
Off the top of my head, I can recall cases where:
I’m saying its not a guarantee until the body of this kid ends up with the family, and given the history in this particular area… I have little to no trust of those involved.
It would have to be a pretty shockingly brazen coverup for that part of the story to be true and covered up.
I agree, and at the same time… I can still see it as a possibility given everything else going on. There are plenty of ways “unfortunate mishandling” can happen.
I have even lower trust these days. There is so much willingness to blatantly lie all the way up to the federal level that I doubt I would trust any report produced. Not to say I’d assume it was something else, just that I have virtually zero trust in the police there or the coroner.
Supposedly the autopsy report will be released in full, but as you say - if they are willing to cover it up then the report won’t matter.
An independent review would be needed, which, with this admin especially, isn’t going to happen.
Every single thing was a groyper meme.
He wore a trump costume. He wore a Pepe costume.
If each casing existed in a vaccum, and there were no other information whatsoever (like his father wearing 3 percenter shirts, the costumes, even the timing of him becoming political) I’d be able to agree with you.
I’m not saying his motives are confirmed, but to say he’s not a groyper would be ignoring the information we do have.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Tyler Robinson shot Kirk. The Colorado school shooter from the same day is a different person.
And those aren’t Lemmy memes - do you know what a groyper is?
The casings were engraved with groyper memes, yes.
For my lab its testing ideas. More often than not, it involved hardware outside the server. Cloud hosted is not an option for that, or playing with a variety of distributions, testing applications, etc.
