Disney was probably inundated with demands from other on air talent to reinstate the employee. They then made the calculated judgment that maintaining good employee relations was on balance better served by putting the employee back on the assembly line. This is all usual and standard business. Anyone on here that has ever worked a job has contract that says what they can and cannot do while in the employ of the company.
So now we know the reality. An employer, Disney, felt an employee, Kimmel, was damaging their business, let's not forget the point of an employee is to make money for their employer, and as a result took corrective action with the employee. Who was not fired. If a waiter at a restaurant was offending the customers, he would have been fired. Kimmel was treated very kindly and will continue to receive his paycheck. Looks like the wailing about free speech missed the mark
A little late on this story, it all happened last year and the years before. Inflation is a monetary phenomenon, when the govt floods the world with free money, the price of goods goes up.
Just look at the title.. "Solar executives warn..". Of course they do, their business model is government subsidy. I live in a blue state that has decided to bet on renewables and our electricity rates are skyrocketing. If solar was viable, it would not require forcing tax payers to fund these businesses.
Isn't this the group that had the not that monitored chats and would warn on any use of language that was insufficiently adherent to the woke paradigm?
Absolutely correct. The only reason to resists transparency and accountability is if you have something to hide. The american public is smart enough to know that you don't make a $200,000 per year salary and amass a wealth of multi millions. It was a fun ride for the inside while it lasted, its time to move on now.
I believe we are at the end of the line for the concept of "fact checking". The statement "These Wildfires are Caused by California’s Mismanagement of Forest Lands" is qualitative, there is no true or false to that. Gov Newsom may believe they did a wonderful job, others may disagree. But certainly when one side says and any dissenting view is a "LIE" that is a good marker that they are trying to shut down open discussion because they have something to hide. Not a good look in the middle of a crisis to be shutting down dialog. Let the voters decide if the current government did a good job or mismanaged, but to say that disagreement with current power structures is a LIE does not work anymore.
For over 100 years we have had laws and rules that prescribe that when a firm or industry reaches monopoly statue they must act as a common carrier and not discriminate. Been that way since telephones and railroads. People should understand history, this is not a new challenge and the solutions are already on the books.
As a common carrier they should not be allowed to discriminate. Like railroads cannot discriminate against traffic they do not like, and restaurants and hotels cannot discriminate. As a society we decided long ago that if you hold yourself out to the public you cannot discriminate
