Walt Disney has LEFT the building

Check this out.

“Disney CEO Bob Iger was asked about the situation on Wednesday. He told Reuters that the studio will find it "very difficult" to film in Georgia if the new law takes effect”.

I didn’t make that shit up, that is a direct lift from this article…..right here.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/30/business/disney-bob-iger-abortion-georgia/index.html

I chose CNN as the source because it encompasses more than just the Iger quote.  But here is the summary; Netflix, Disney and Time Warner are threatening to stop shooting movies, or TV in Georgia, and any other state that passes (fairly popular) anti-abortion bills.

Let’s take a look at this stupidity (and that is what it is) and arrogance (and that is also what it is).  Iger is the CEO of a company which was started by a man who pioneered cartoon animation to make programs featuring characters aimed at entertaining KIDS!  Disney World and Disney Land are major theme parks aimed at KIDS.  This corporation makes more money (as does Iger) than any ten people you and I know…..In one year.  And Iger has the audacity and arrogance to say it will be “difficult” to work in Georgia if that abortion law stands.

Why will it be difficult?  Georgia will still do whatever they now do to make Georgia a lucrative market (tax incentives, less tax, treating casts and crews like royalty).  Why would the entire, mammoth Disney operation have a problem working in one state that promotes the saving of unborn KIDS?  I bet they will drive through that state.  I wouldn’t be surprised if some Disney people actually LIVE in the state.  If Georgia joined the leftist, ignorant slaughter-fest of abortion on demand, would THAT satisfy Iger?  How many other political or religious feelings has Iger allowed to color his decisions on where Disney makes movies?  The man is an arrogant ass. 

I am from Georgia and have no interest in living there again merely because that is not where my world is now…there is nothing wrong with Georgia (other than Atlanta and Stacy Abrams).   I have been too long gone, in the Midwest for too long….plus those damned mosquitos are too much….and I do not have a large enough wardrobe to change three times a day in the melting heat and humidity.  But that is my choice.  Trust me, I live in Illinois where the state government does shit DAILY that is offensive across the board…….and….as circumstance has it…….the state legislature just passed a law to make taxes so oppressive that NOBODY will stay here if they can afford to leave, right after it passed a law that is just short of requiring pregnant women to abort.  But I don’t threaten to quit my job and leave over the abortion issue.

This arrogance of Iger….this entire “If Georgia does not kneel to my idea of social justice I am not giving them my business”, is an abomination.  And for the record……I THINK Georgia was in place a long time before Walt Disney, or Iger.

And I do not care about Time Warner…..not a concern.

However…..if Netfilx does anything to jack up the third season of “Stranger Things”……I am out.
