Disney Finds out It Doesn't Pay to Go Woke; Nearly 40% of U.S. Attack Submarines are Out of Commission...more
While part of the problem may be pricing, they are also alienating a significant part of the public with woke moves; you’re cutting the number of people willing to go and plunk down that money. But Disney built itself originally on being a “family” place and family entertainment. If people don’t think that’s what you are anymore, they aren’t going to come.
So just like Bud Light and Target, Disney is painting itself into a corner. When you don’t pay attention to your customers, your customers are going to tell you what they think — with their feet, walking away from your brand.

Worst of all, the trendline is bad and getting worse, as the 37% out-of-commission rate is “up from 28% overall in 2017 and 33% in 2022, and below the industry best practice of 20%.” “The best year for attack sub availability was fiscal 2015 when 19% — or 10 of the then 53 subs — were in overhaul, according to figures contained in a June 13 Navy information paper.”

Her title gets it right: the issue is NOT toxic masculinity (although that can and does exist, and she unflinchingly addresses it in this volume), but the war – the toxic war – on men, maleness and masculinity. This war has been unrelenting and coming from all quarters. This is something most of us should by now be quite familiar with, and Pearcey offers plenty of documentation on this sustained assault.
nce 2008, two major trends in the United States have been much discussed but little compared: the declines in religion and in the humanities. The downward trend in religion, particularly Christianity, accelerated in 2008. As Pew research has shown, the percentage of Americans who identify as Christian has fallen from 77 percent to 65 percent, while the percentage of Nones has risen from 17 percent to 26 percent. This decline is particularly acute among Millennials, of whom only 46 percent identify as religious. Meanwhile, the decline of the humanities has accelerated at America colleges. Majors in the humanities have declined between 30 and 60 percent, depending on the department. Churches and humanities departments find themselves facing mergers, consolidations, and closures.

EVs are rolling megaphones for the upper-middle class and upper-class white Democrats and progressives who want to scream “look at me, I’m saving the planet.”
Climate Expert: Gas Car Cancellation Is Intended to End Private Transport Climate Depot’s Marc Morano went on Fox Business Thursday and discussed how the Democrat and globalist push to replace gas cars with electric vehicles (EVs) isn’t about helping the environment but restricting Americans’ freedom of movement. “This really isn’t about them driving an electric car,” Morano said, highlighting how this is a top-down decision not based on popular demand. “This literally is — the banning of gas-powered cars — is being done just like a COVID lockdown without a vote,” he added. From California to the Biden Environmental Protection Agency to Australia, leftists are trying to force ordinary citizens into a corner with their gas car restrictions.

The Covid years mark what was arguably the greatest encroachment on personal freedom and bodily autonomy in the history of our country. The government decimated the American economy by forcibly closing businesses. It enacted unethical and anti-science mask mandates and government employee vaccine mandates, even though the Covid shots do not prevent people from spreading or contracting the virus.
