Pete - Bob Iger promoting his company? That's his job.

[Polybound]

Bob Iger looking out after and promoting his company? How dare he. Yes US corporate taxes are among the highest and most complicated in the entire world and deter growth and innovation. Many of these Disney expansion projects, that so many as yourself like to complain about taking so long to complete, might not take nearly as long and may be much more technologically advanced, if the US corporate tax code wasn't so punitive.

We're not supposed to talk about politics on the board, so I'm not going to get into a tax code debate with you.

But let's not act like Disney is hurting for money.

I believe we're talking about a subject Pete discussed concerning Disney's CEO, Disney Taxes and Disney Promotion. He of all people should understand what promotion of a company is all about.

They've got plenty of debt too.

They've got plenty of debt too.

Disney is in debt?

 

[OKW Lover]

Disney is in debt?

Yes. Approximately $15B in Long Term Debt.

 

[KingLlama]

Yes. Approximately $15B in Long Term Debt.

Maybe Disney could go through the Dave Ramsey plan and budget its money and put the cash into little envelopes until they pay it off.

 

[Polybound]

Yes. Approximately $15B in Long Term Debt.

Just amazes me that most people just don't understand how businesses work.

 

[rteetz]

Yes. Approximately $15B in Long Term Debt.

I'm surprised that isn't brought up more then.

 

[Polybound]

How condescending of you.

Not trying to be, but before people complain about a business, they should at least know all of the facts.

I feel like Pete would be more qualified to discuss the facts about Disney than any of us.
And even if he's not, it's his show, his forum, his podcast, so I guess he can discuss whatever he likes?

 

[Googelibear]

I think nothing good will come of this thread. We should just go and read something else

Excellent plan Googelibear

That's exactly what people who don't like a thread should do.

As should those that don't like what's being said in a podcast or video

So I guess Pete is above criticism?

Nope.
But as you said, if one doesn't like the content, they're welcome to move along rather than criticize it. Works both ways
