    Because if you continue paying the high prices, then companies will just increase them again. Because the market will bear it.

    The only way to stop it is to vote with your wallet. It only took like 1% of subscribers canceling to get Disney to change its stance on Kimmel.

      but you’re comparing disney to a local cafe…

      these guys aren’t just willy-nilly increasing the price of coffee for funsies. a lot of these issues have to do with supply chain, commercial rents, and billionaire created issues… the real solution isn’t just to stay home and let your local cafe go bankrupt… need to solve the big picture issues that are causing inflation without the wage increases that we all need.

      It wasn’t subscribers. It was Disney adults cancelling their vacations. That’s how Disney actually makes money, they won’t fuck with those people.
