Disney chief executive Bob Iger raked in a hefty sum last year as the company implemented cost-cutting measures that included laying off thousands of employees, while he also battled activist investor Nelson Peltz.


Iger has been on a cost-cutting mission since ousting former CEO Bob Chapek in late 2022, and oversaw multiple rounds of layoffs at the entertainment giant last year that impacted more than 7,000 employees.

Revenues go down due to controversy, headcount goes down.
 
So, once again, I have to ask a question since I have not been participating in many of these threads of late.....
Has the ban on politics been officially lifted or does it still only apply to posts that are viewed as being left leaning?
No point in participating if its only going to give the boss man work and poofing to do 8-)8-)

Hell yeah, 3 false emails if that's what you're referring, but they do serve a purpose and I don't easily give those addresses out either.

'Alarming' surveillance: Feds asked banks to search private transactions for terms like ‘MAGA,’ ‘Trump’​

One bank allegedly handed over information to FBI 'voluntarily and without any legal process'​

EXCLUSIVE: Federal investigators asked banks to search and filter customer transactions by using terms like "MAGA" and "Trump" as part of an investigation into Jan. 6, warning that purchases of "religious texts" could indicate "extremism," the House Judiciary Committee revealed Wednesday in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.

Fox News Digital has learned the committee also obtained documents that indicate officials suggested that banks query transactions with keywords like Dick's Sporting Goods, Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops and more.

The House Judiciary Committee and its subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government have been conducting oversight of federal law enforcement’s "receipt of information about American citizens without legal process and its engagement with the private sector."

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said the documents obtained by the committee indicate that after Jan. 6, 2021, the Treasury Department’s Office of Stakeholder Integration and Engagement in the Strategic Operations of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, distributed materials to financial institutions that outlined "typologies" of "various persons of interest" and provided the banks with "suggested search terms and Merchant Category Codes for identifying transactions on behalf of federal law enforcement."

The materials included a document recommending the use of generic terms like "Trump" and "MAGA" to "search Zelle payment messages" as well as a "prior FinCEN analysis" of "Lone Actor/Homegrown Violent Extremism Indicators."

"According to this analysis, FinCEN warned financial institutions of ‘extremism’ indicators that include ‘transportation charges, such as bus tickets, rental cars, or plane tickets, for travel areas with no apparent purpose,’ or ‘the purchase of books (including religious texts) and subscriptions to other media containing extremist views,’" Jordan detailed in a letter to the former director of FinCEN, Noah Bishoff, a career employee.

"In other words, FinCEN used large financial institutions to comb through the private transactions of their customers for suspicious charges on the basis of protected political and religious expression," Jordan wrote.

Jordan and the committee are requesting Bishoff appear for a transcribed interview on the matter, saying he may "possess information necessary for our oversight."

The Treasury Department declined to comment.
