New Orleans was hit by hurricane Katrina in 2005. That's a fair characterization of events.

Disney's CEO is choosing to layoff. Disney is not the unwitting victim of circumstance.

Poor Disney! If only they had made countless billions of dollars on their assorted IP over the last few years then maybe they wouldn't be so poor now that they have to layoff their beloved employees that they can no longer afford to pay.

I’m sure a lot of people have been “hit really hard” with the streaming subscriptions they canceled over Disney’s stupid bullshit.

Today’s cuts are said to impact a couple of hundred employees, largely in areas such as tech and HR, which is a smaller number than the two previous rounds of layoffs earlier this year.

Disney employs around 220-000- 230,000 people. So this is maybe 1% of staff, to put that in perspective.
