I think this is a pretty good example of what Byung-Chul Han talks about i.e. people can't imagine that it's the things they love that are killing them (cheap and widely available processed food) so they must invent some nebulous outside evil that is ruining the thing that we all agree is good.

Edit: since it's paywalled

Disney is forgetting that guest immersion is at the core of its business model. When I stand in Galaxy’s Edge or Fantasyland, I know I am in a theme park but through immersion and my willingness to set the real world aside, something magical happens.

That spell is broken when the immersive experience is shattered by the real world. And boy, has Disney been breaking the immersion.

Recently, Disney announced that cast members are now permitted to display tattoos, wear inclusive uniforms and display inclusive haircuts. Disney did all of this in the name of allowing cast members to express themselves.

The problem is, I’m not traveling across the country and paying thousands of dollars to watch someone I do not know express themselves. I am there for the immersion and the fantasy, not the reality of a stranger’s self-expression. I do not begrudge these people their individuality and I wish them well in their personal lives, but I do not get to express my individuality at my place of business.

What’s next, is Disney going to end the rule barring on stage cellphone use by cast members as an infringement on self-expression.

More broadly, like many corporations, Disney has been politicizing its business. Full disclosure: I am a Christian and a conservative Republican, so the people who run Disney and I do not see eye to eye.

It's very funny because first DeSantis wanted to dissolve the special zone DW resides in (population: about 50, all Disney employees). However, that would mean all debts and obligations would immediately fall on one of two neighboring counties. The special zone is absolutely loaded with debt, because why on earth wouldn't it be? Disney isn't taxing itself to operate the "town" at a surplus; the whole thing is operating costs for the parks, so of course it's leveraged to the hilt.

So DeSantis thinks he'll appoint the board of the special zone, instead, as if Disney won't instantly pay off every single one of them.

Americans love to run the AC and fan on full blast in their cars in summer, and when the interior of the car gets too cold they love to just turn off the fan, but leave the AC on, so that you're now humid, muggy and cold instead of blast chilled cold. When I told them to put the fan and the temperature to a mild, comfortable setting where they could be set for hours at a time, they looked at me like I was from Europe.
