Because of government overreach, a bunch of us will most likely lose our jobs in the near future
if you're also in Florida, start looking. This will not end well for employees.
Disney needs to keep their politics to themselves. You’re there to make entertainment NOT political statements through character advancement!
Leave our children alone! They are not yours to influence and intimate! You want to be who you are, then have the same respect for others and their children without passing your political agendas on them subversively or even out in the open! Shame on... — read more
