Do you have some reason why you think they will be bankrupt and/or split up?
I wouldn't hold my breath for a bankruptcy - Disney has Gross profits of ~30 Billion a year and net profits of ~2-5 Billion a year. Even if their lawyers become completely incompetent and allow them to be sued for max penalties every month of the year, it wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket.
The parks have been running at a loss and they've been spending like crazy on acquisitions and running all said acquisitions into the ground
I met a shitposter from modern social media,
Who asked with a frown, wrinkle lip
And sneer of cold contempt:
"Do you have some reason why you think
This company with vast amounts of these
stamped lifeless things
Will go bankrupt and/or split up?"
But regardless of all the corp-simping,
In the future, only these words survive.
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
Why is corpo-simping so common on this platform?
Some kind of Stockholm syndrome i guess.
This companies violates us constantly, but most people are so traumatised by ads and social presure that they don't see it anymore.
I put ads before social presure due to comedy, but also:
Ads eats brains. Thus creating mindless consumers. Oh look, the perfect consumer!
