What about those who have to bend the knee because they are responsible for thousands of jobs?

Do you care about the normal people working at ABC who would lose their jobs if ABC loses its license?

The issue most people have with Disney's behavior is that they didn't even attempt to fight.

It's one thing to say "We're going to comply for now, but here are the things we'll be doing to push back..."

Attempting to can Kimmel because he said something the President doesn't like and because it's politically/economically convenient for Disney, without doing anything else?

That's just cowardice.

So we should all surender all of our rights and beliefs on the altar of The Economy

That's one thing that bugs the shit out of me about the effective altruism crowd.

If everyone justifies acting like a capitalist monster, so then they can use their gains to do good things...

... but as soon as they retire they're replaced by someone else also doing EA...

... then the end result is the entire economy controlled by monsters, always. (Plus a bunch of wealthy retirees playing charity)

It's a game of chicken that Trump has been losing. Even Tucker Carlson is saying "wait a minute". Disney/ABC is just run by cowards.
