, granddaughter of Walt Disney Co. co-founder Roy Disney, criticized the company’s decision to reopen its theme parks.
“I’m confused about how they think they can possibly protect their guests and their employees,” the Disney heiress said during an appearance Thursday on. “I certainly know people who work there who are very uncomfortable, who have conditions like asthma and diabetes that put you at high risk, who are literally deciding whether they want to go back to work or buy food.”
Disney reopened Disney World last weekend and has maintained it has taken proper precautions even as Florida officials grapple with soaring rates of COVID-19 infection.“The lines of communication are not robust,” she said. In recent years, Abigail Disney has taken aim at former CEO Bob Iger and other execs over their compensation and other issues, most recentlyDisney also addressed her campaigning for a tax on wealthy Americans to reduce income inequality.
Sorkin pressed her about why everyone in a certain tax bracket would need to be taxed as opposed to individuals contributing where they see the need. “If the world is terribly polluted, I’m not going to fix it by going in front of my house and picking up all the trash off the sidewalk. That’s not the problem. The problem is systemic. We need to make this a fair system that doesn’t so much favor the wealthy.
