Don’t Blame the “Free Market” for Disney’s Lobbying #shorts

Here we go again: blaming the free market on something the government has its hand in.

@Just Some Guy recently posted a YouTube video about Disney not opposing Florida’s controversial HB1557 bill banning discussion of sexual identity in school for kids in the 3rd grade or younger. It seems to directly conflict with Disney’s publicly stated values and a lot of people are upset about them for not challenging the bill.

Just Some Guy is probably right about why Disney’s not coming out against it. But when he blames “free market capitalism” he’s sadly mistaken.
