I guess you / youtube content creator lost money investing in Disney. DIS peaked in Mar 2021. It will be hard for it to reach that peak again.
Like all things DEI ("Didn't Earn it"), DIS joins the pantheon of dogs. Hertz rentals, Bud, (and many others) will keep them company for a long time.
Disney's main business is their bloated theme parks which cost an arm and a leg to go to. I doubt people want to keep paying $2000 for a weekend at their hotels.
Didn't Earn It is pretty funny. That is pretty accurate. Like all things of leftist origin DEI is a way for losers to participate. The PharmaIT company I worked at was full of diversity hires that were extremely under qualified. Every week I had to explain to them the different types of index creations in Oracle. Amazingly some of these people actually came from Oracle & Informix (later bought by IBM for its image DB collaboration).
Coincidentally we went last year (Paris). It’s around 200 for a hotel and 90 entry (euros), plus some food expenses. Our conclusion was that there are themeparks in the Netherlands and Germany which cost half, and are equally likable. *Detail: also ordered fries at the hotel but saw it was 15e. I refused because it was really basic, totally no effort or special on the fries. I mean, we went to a specialized shop for fries in Brussel 2 days before, 8 euro and you get something which you never tasted before *hotel price 200 is not expensive btw
Looks like Disney isn't learning from OceanGate's DEI disaster. I found it fitting how just before THAT woke company got the CEO killed, he bragged on radio how they 'refuse to hire experienced white men'. Not too hard (after the fact) to realize why they did that. Of course, no one in the media wants to talk about it... That aside, the ridiculous compensation the CEO of Disney is getting, has me scratching my head how it is even justifiable. Appears to be just another champaign socialist.
Disney needs a new CEO, and I'll share my top nominee. Once he puts the Crowdstrike debacle in the rear view mirror (can't abandon ship with that loose end just yet), but once that's over with, Disney would do well to make Ed Bastian an offer he can't refuse. The announcement alone would be good for a 30% pop. And it will be up from there. It's a match made in heaven.
Unless Disney lowers their prices Disney is just another luxury company. Going to Disneyworld or Disneyland is now only for rich people. It would help if they made movies that people actually want to watch instead of pandering to people who will never watch their films. Ed Bastian is a disaster not a good CEO. Apparently he doesn't understand that software companies actually need to test data being pushed out to millions of customers blindly. I worked in PharmaIT for 20 years and if we did what Crowdstrike & Bastian did Merck, Pfizer, etc. would have dropped us immediately. Bastian's just another scammer who thought you can fire & outsource QA and no one will notice. He is a joker.
Yeah... except he's the ceo of Delta Airlines. Not Crowdstrike. CEO Of The Year: A Conversation With Delta Air Lines’ Ed Bastian © AdobeStock Under Ed Bastian, Delta Air Lines—one of America’s most storied and vital enterprises—engineered a turnaround for the history books, a leadership performance worthy of the title CEO of the Year. But it wasn’t easy, and it isn’t over. Sometime during March 2020—ask him and he’s not exactly sure of the day or even the week—Ed Bastian walked into the conference room near his office on the Atlanta campus of Delta Air Lines and began the process of saving one of the most important corporations in the world. On the walls around him were satellite photos of the airports around the U.S. served by Delta—including JFK, MSP, DTW, LAX, SEA, BOS, SLC and, of course, dominating the photos of all the others, ATL, the city-size Hartsfield-Jackson airport located just across the road from Bastian’s office. From space, the airports all look eerily empty. And on that day, they nearly were. Amid the fast-spiraling panic of Covid-19, Bastian was presiding over one of the more traumatic meltdowns in global business history. Delta, which enjoyed $47 billion in 2019 revenue, suddenly had “basically nothing” coming in, and worse, millions of customers were cancelling flight reservations, demanding refunds, draining reserves. _______________________________
