‘Go Woke, Go Broke’ — Disney Laying Off 7,000 Workers

The Walt Disney Company announced that it will eliminate 7,000 jobs, citing the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business operations despite posting record profits. In recent years, Disney has been increasingly vocal in its support of left-wing causes and has pushed a politically correct agenda in its films, TV shows, and theme parks. The company’s embrace of these values has earned it widespread praise from the liberal media and political elite, but it has also resulted in significant backlash from conservative consumers who feel that their values are being ignored. Now, as Disney lays off thousands of workers and faces significant financial challenges, many conservatives are asking whether the company’s embrace of left-wing values was worth the price. “Go woke, go broke,” said one conservative commentator. “Disney’s embrace of leftist politics has clearly come at the expense of its financial stability, and it is a cautionary tale for other companies considering following the same path.”


NEWS ROLLUP: ‘Go Woke, Go Broke’ — Disney Laying Off 7,000 Workers

In a major blow to American workers, the Walt Disney Company announced that it will eliminate 7,000 jobs, citing the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business operations. The news has sparked renewed criticism of the company’s recent embrace of leftist politics and woke culture, with some conservatives pointing to this announcement as evidence of the dangers of adopting such a stance.

In recent years, Disney has been increasingly vocal in its support of left-wing causes and has pushed a politically correct agenda in its films, TV shows, and theme parks. The company’s embrace of these values has earned it widespread praise from the liberal media and political elite, but it has also resulted in significant backlash from conservative consumers who feel that their values are being ignored.

Now, as Disney lays off thousands of workers and faces significant financial challenges, many conservatives are asking whether the company’s embrace of left-wing values was worth the price. “Go woke, go broke,” said one conservative commentator. “Disney’s embrace of leftist politics has clearly come at the expense of its financial stability, and it is a cautionary tale for other companies considering following the same path.”

In a statement, CEO Bob Iger expressed his regret over the layoffs, stating that the decision was difficult but necessary to ensure the long-term stability of the company. However, this announcement has done little to quell the criticism of Disney’s left-wing politics, with some conservatives arguing that the company’s financial struggles are a direct result of its embrace of such values.

The layoffs at Disney are a major blow to American workers, and they represent a dark moment for a company that has been a symbol of American ingenuity and creativity for over a century. However, they also serve as a warning to other companies that may be considering embracing left-wing values, as they demonstrate the potentially severe consequences of doing so.

In the end, the layoffs at Disney are a reminder that companies must prioritize the financial stability of their businesses and the well-being of their employees rather than succumbing to the pressures of political correctness and woke culture. We must support our businesses and ensure that they make decisions based on sound economic principles rather than bowing to the demands of the leftist media and political elite.
