    The woke lefts don't understand economics- from 2011 to 2021, 789 company headquarters (1.9% of the state's total) left California... and that doesn't include much recent examples like Chevron and In-N-Out ...

    they don't know how to run a business , they lose 40 million a year on the failing late TDS show - imagine if we could transfer those lost funds and help out the WNBA with that 40 million ... Oh nvm it would still be losing money as well as the late show as well as Disney box office flops in 2023, including movies like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, The Little Mermaid (live-action), Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Haunted Mansion, and The Marvels. Some reports suggest that Disney lost close to $900 million on these films alone !

    i'm not trying to go on a tangent here because the topic is the WNBA, but I'm noticing a trend of progressive wokes and economics not mixing too well

    She should have went to Gaza where their government advocates that Palestinian civilian deaths is fine and even more fine if it can be used as propaganda against Israel.. she could've been a shield of justice like a marvel superhero

    Woke means you are dumb at everything
    Biology
    Economics
    Religion
    World history
    Culture
    Entertainment
    Marketing

    for example the WNBA is entertainment and economics

    Their salary based on how much they are generating revenue wise
    It’s not a male vs female accountant salary comparison

    The NBA can pay KD and LeBron $100 million because it generates billions

    the WNBA now is only popular because of one player and she doesn’t move the needle to NBA level for the entire league

    I wonder why RoxRan isn't the CEO for Disney since he has all the answers.

    Yeah and to think some on this MB think that the current Woke education students are getting at Ivy League schools is as good of an education as students were getting at Ivy League schools back in the 80's. LMAO/SMH

    The number rule of marketing is knowing your audience
    They clearly don’t follow this rule

    California with the fourth largest economy in the world, that pays more than 80bn more in taxes than it gets back, they are a model of success, and the right mocks them while sucking at their teet to fund the broke ass red states not collecting taxes to try to get companies to their state.

    it is deeper economics than I believe you understand, but your cult says to follow XYZ and you follow.

    KPop Demon Hunters," a Netflix animated film, has become a surprise hit, outperforming many Hollywood releases and even topping charts, including Billboard's Soundtracks chart and the all-genre Billboard 200... let's think about this for a second there's no culture misappropriation that Hollywood often does these days, this type of show could not be done by today's Hollywood live action standard because they did not have enough DEI percentage.

    There's no doubt that shows and entertainment, which work with the public and makes a profit and is successful in story And viewer engagement puts DEI in the garbage can...
