He's just a hate-filled, petty, small, small man, although at this point it seems to be largely dementia-induced confusion and rage. The damage he is doing will be lasting and far-reaching.

Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year.
Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year.
Remember this as Disney turns to AI.

I genuinely don't understand why people in the US are opposed to increased access and affordability in healthcare. Aside from humanitarian reasons/empathy, wouldn't that be better for business and the economy? Won't businesses operate better if their employees are healthy and productive?
