[RB TexLa]

1. Do you do anything other than disparage other people on this site?

If so, I must have missed it.

[WhollyHeretic]

3. Well sometimes he posts purely antagonistic things

:shrug:

2. You are comparing apples to oranges.

And Disney's profit picture does not affect our economy in the direct manner that Exxon's does.

[AndyA]

4. Did Disney make almost $12 billion in profit during Q2?

I don't think so.

Exxon has earned about $100 billion in profits in 2.5 years.

They are profiting from the war, and that's ILLEGAL.

[taterguy]

5. How can that possibly be?

I thought all decent people were boycotting all things Disney because of that stupied Path to 9/11 movie

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. Just wait...

takes gas to get to Disney ramas on both coasts.....
wait 3 months...

[rucky]

7. How much do they receive in subsidies?

[Junkdrawer]

8. And I thought no one here would defend Big Oil...

Goes to show...

$$$$$$$$

[LSK]

9. yes especially since all Americans rely on Mickey Mouse to get to work

and we invaded Six Flags at the cost of billions of dollars and thousands of lives on behalf of Disney.

:eyes:

10. Worst. Analogy. EVAR.

And I've seen some really bad ones on here.

Congratulations, I guess?

11. So much for the fundies boycott of Disney impacting them.

However, I'm not forced to buy copies of the Lion King in order to go to work.

12. Comparing margins across industries is stupid beyond belief.

By just looking at profit margins, Walmart is a struggling enterprise because retail profit margins are always pathetic. There is an issue of gross receipts when it comes to oil and gas companies.

13. Disney is a necessity item for you to do your job and heat your house?

Must be nice.

[Deja Q]

15. Talk about a mickey mouse comparison...

Some 5 year olds would die without listening to Donald Duck discuss Shakespeare... not that any given 5 year old couldn't discern between Donald and any other form of gibber, but I oughtn't generalize...

14. Apples and cumquats

Market cap - XOM: $431.62B DIS: $57.65B
Full Time Employees - XOM: 107,100 DIS: 137,000
EBITDA (ttm) - XOM: $76.47B DIS: $9.06B

EBITDA/FTE - XOM: $714,000 DIS: $66,000

Exxon/Mobil's earnings per employee are more than SIX TIMES as great as Disney's.
(Those "earnings" are AFTER employee compensation.)
