I agree with Abigail Disney that some of the upper echelon (executives) of Corporate America tend to be more focused on their own financial compensation and the gains of their stock holders, than over their workers. Her solution to the problem, however, leads down the path of Socialism, Government intervention, and Higher taxes. She then justifies her position with arguments of the evils of Capitalism, white supremacy, stolen land, and the exploitation of minorities. (To be clear...what she argues against, unbeknownst to her, is Crony Capitalism...not true Capitalism). Oh...and let's not forget Abigail's arguments of "Income Inequality".... as i routinely say, "This is the land of equal OPPORTUNITY...not the land of Equal Share" Everyone has to live with the choices they make. If they choose to party, and blow off their education when they're young (or rack up thousands of $$$ worth in college debt for a worthless degree)...then they will reap what they sow, and will end up working for minimum wage. As my father told me, "there are two ways to make money in this world -- with your brains or your back." I added to this advice for my kids with, "or with hours of your life sold to your employer." Where I take GREAT exception to this is when someone's opportunities are stolen by others through exploitation. In America...everyone has the right to equal opportunity. Period. In the case of Disney, the documentary points out that Disney has free education programs, which would help their employees climb that ladder Abigail shows. So, in my opinion, Disney is trying to help their employees in that regard, but fail to go the extra step by reducing their hours, offering child care, or subsidized housing while they attend school (examples only, but adding these incentive to employees would offer immediate benefits for those who want to further their education). In my opinion, Disney makes a LOT of money. I agree that, in the case of Disney Land, the the cost of living in the Socialist State of California (Anaheim and Orange County in particular) is far beyond the means of a minimum wage workers. I, personally, don't see why Disney can't spend money to build apartment complexes for the workers that need help, and subsidize the rent as part of the worker's package. Further, I see no reason why a company the size of Disney does not offer reasonable healthcare for their workers. However, the argument that the Government is the solution, and needs to step in to fix these problems through socialism...well...she lost me on that one. As a whole, I think Abigail Disney missed her opportunity. She had the opportunity to use her Disney name to put out a Documentary that could have helped the employees...instead, she created one that missed the mark on a proper solution by pushing Woke ideology. I gave the show two (2) stars for this reason -- she brought to light a problem that should be know (bravo!), but completely missed the target on how to fix it and failed to rally universal support to the cause.
