Abigail Disney blasts company executives over furloughs
Abigail Disney is flabbergasted over the Walt Disney's decision to furlough hundreds of thousands low-paid workers after paying its executives millions of dollars.
Abigail Disney ripped the Walt Disney Company on Twitter on Wednesday over its decision to furlough 100,000 workers because of declining business during the coronavirus pandemic.
Disney criticized the company for issuing dividends to stockholders and paying high salaries to executives while issuing furloughs.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL F---," she wrote, saying the excuse of declining business only went so far.

If you give everyone $1000 it'd be interesting to see some bar graphs and modelling on where that money would go. Presuming it goes directly into people's bank accounts I'd assume a % remains in banks, a % online casinos, % online games, etc...
You could probably save the gov money by simply figuring where the top 50 spends across the population are and bailing out/handing out to those businesses.
- and if you give everyone newly printed $$$'s, surely you are just instantly creating inflation and devaluing currency in relation to valued time/assets.shapesalad
- looking forward when we eventually switch to cryptocurrency so this information can be tracked in real timezaq
- You don't need to track it, you said it yourself, the people will know where to spend. Of course you'll have morons but most will just do what they need to dozarkonite
- with the money and truly necessary businesses will thrive. We can figure out where the money went at the next tax season.zarkonite
- and there won't be inflation caused by this because people stopped receiving wages so there's a shortage of cash in the market right now. Printing new moneyzarkonite
- just shores up the market, it doesn't overinflate it. At least in theory...zarkonite
- If you bail out the top 50 you let dozens if not hundreds of others fail. Give the money to the people and they'll distribute it proportionately to thei_monk

People who base their self-worth on their financial success feel pressure to focus most of their efforts on making more money rather than on building their relationships with family and friends, and, as a result, often end up feeling isolated and lonely, according to new research.

here you go utopian not that you will watch it. but im sure have some insult since all bark and no bite.
some old school shit that has only proven itself correct over the last 40 years. also thought of this because my buddy mentioned so many companies struggling to hire while unemployment is up. IE Hamilton here. My theory is if you can get up to 600 a week, free mortgage, deferred utilities, and a stipend of 1200 why work? and curious if we might be going very big on serfdom now and curious who will be able to recover or become a drunk indian on a reservation with voting card. But gov bailouts of people or corps have little to do with capitalism...more second link.. if you care. you have your boogers you like to eat.
and this is great as well, but more importantly the best is is towards the end in regards to inflation.maybe you can learn some fundamentals. a couple hours of debate and arguments across studio audience and hosts, and round table "phd's" groups not quite as fun as meme shit. but taking it old school helps show how far we have fallen and become a dingbat society. one which also can go back to the 80s and see postman predicted quite well. But culture and evolution outside economy theory and politics as they all come together for the big picture is a bit above your pay grade if you cant see a single nail. how do you do wink smiley face emoticons?
- and on a side note. cause i like notes. how much would a person want to be paid per hour to give up 600 a week for no work?deathboy

- But I'd suggest really watching the videos to see how everything u hate is your gov regulations. Not capitalism. Poor rules creating bubblesdeathboy
- Utopian thanks for showing how little u know. Friedman is of mises and hayek thinking and don't believe in trickle down policydeathboy
- If u can state specifically a policy Friedman advocates for it's trickledown effects I'd love to see it.deathboy
- And u know trickledown is far more Keynesian and fdr. It's gov spending and Central banking on money supply to promote growthdeathboy
- But as Friedman always said it's stupid because such things only enrich fatcats. So it seems like we both dont like the same things. Just one of us that knows cdeathboy

- And not o e comment to my question I. The notes or reason I stated why I posted video. Really wanted more thinking on behavior to new bailouts like welfare anddeathboy
- Possible inflation of it. Will the new assets inflation make prices so high that it destroys middle-class in its entiretydeathboy

- One of my clients is an angel investment fund. They invest for positive reasons but also because its 'tax efficient'.monoboy
- The system only works with equilibrium. The scales are fixed in favour of aggressive big capital.monoboy
- And they get bailed out by taxpayers when it goes wrong. That's morally bankrupt if you believe in a true 'free market'.monoboy
- Especially if it denies working people public services they've already paid for.monoboy
- hmm i result to insults... if stating someone is wrong fro a multitude of reasons is an insult than sure. but no i dont partake much in play ground cut downdeathboy
- contests. Angel investors invest for greater profit. That is #1. Afterall its called investment not giveaway charity for good intentions.deathboy
- As far as tax goes depends on how its setup and why. Plenty of ways to setup of non profit investment arms to lower corporate profits.deathboy
- as far equlilibrium a free market has more being its non centralized and everyone partakes individually day to day hour by hour in choice. it is a far moredeathboy
- organic system than voting and passing laws and thinking federal banks and policy can do a better job. a terrible terrible ideadeathboy
- and yes becuase i beleive in free amrkets i find the bailouts by taxpayers of failed business adventures terrible. always have and never said differentdeathboy
- the 2 hours of pro capitalism videos might be worth watching. if you did i think u would see we both feel bailouts are bad. just one of is right in reaction anddeathboy
- the other caused it and denial of it.deathboy
- You’re operating under the assumption that if you quit your job you get that extra $600. Or that mortgage is not due. With both false you have nothing.monospaced

How Some Rich Americans Are Getting Stimulus ‘Checks’ Averaging $1.7 Million
A $1.7 million stimulus check?
While wealthy Americans are not eligible for the comparatively measly $1,200 stimulus checks that are now being disbursed to many Americans, they are on pace to do even better. 43,000 taxpayers, who earn more than $1 million annually, are each set to receive a $1.7 million windfall, on average, thanks to a provision buried in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
You may or may not be surprised that some of the language conveniently inserted into the $2.2 trillion-dollar Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) skews heavily in favor of the wealthy. The provision doling out literally millions of dollars is aimed at a limitation that was created in 2017 when Republicans overhauled the tax code. It “temporarily suspends a limitation on how much owners of businesses formed as “pass-through” entities can deduct against their non-business income, such as capital gains, to reduce their tax liability,” according to The Washington Post.
