Netflix is now worth more than Disney with its value climbing to $187 Billion after the streaming company's shares hit an all-time high as millions stay at home during Covid-19 lockdown

Netflix is today worth more than Disney as the U.S. streaming giant cashes in on the coronavirus lockdowns in place for around a third of the global population

The streaming service's stock hit an all-time-high on Wednesday continuing a three-day rise, and closed up 3.2 percent, finishing at $426.75 per stock and giving Netflix a market capitalization of $187.3 billion.

This total figure puts the company above Disney's $186.6 billion after the media conglomerate, which has its own 'Disney Plus' streaming service, saw a 2.5 percent decrease in its stock prices amid a wider market downturn.

Disney has also been cashing in on the coronavirus crisis with its Disney Plus streaming service, but other arms of its business have been significantly disrupted.



'We believe the unfortunate COVID-19 situation is cementing NFLX's global dominance partly driven by the incremental content spend that is enabled by their massive and growing subscriber base,' Senior market analyst at Pivotal, Jeffrey Wlodarczak, wrote in a report.

Dude, I've heard this since the day she said it. You will post it again as some kind of gotcha moment when in fact she didn't do anything different than Trump and definitely not any worse than the President.

So what point are you trying to make or are you just saying look at Nancy not Trump?

I think the general point is that no one foresaw the severity coming; not the experts, not Trump advised by the experts, and certainly not leftist politicians who create divisive memes while memory-holing that complicity.

Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer value integrity and the wellness of the country less than their own ambitions during a potential making of another great depression. They're worse than Russia or China propagandists.

Capitalism isnt a system of control or government.

You have bought into a false premise that artificially creates an argument for political purposes despite having no grounding in reality.

WTH??????? you said socialism corrupted capitalism.
I said capitalism failed at eliminating the need for economic socialism.
Please explain this "false premise" I bought into; this should be fascinating.

Donald Trump's Doral golf resort lays off 560 workers after a month of being closed as coronavirus crisis hits president's fortune

The Trump golf resort in South Florida where President Donald Trump initially wanted to host this year's Group of Seven summit has temporarily laid off 560 workers.

A notice that the Trump National Doral Miami filed with the State of Florida at the end of last month said it had been forced to halt its business because of the spreading new coronavirus.

The resort in metro Miami has been closed since mid-March and it's unknown when it will resume regular operations, Al Linares, the resort's director of human resources wrote to state and city officials.

The laid off workers are mostly food and beverage workers, golf attendants, housekeepers and bell hops. None of the workers are unionized.



The crisis has already hit Trump's net worth by $1 billion - a stunning one-third - amid the coronavirus outbreak he is seeking to manage, according to a respected estimate.

The latest estimate by Forbes, earlier this month, had Trump's worth plummeting to $2.1 billion in a single month, as the coronavirus has ravaged people around the world and hammered the global economy.

Beyond the human toll, the disease has battered commercial real estate, a big component of Trump's empire, as well as the hospitality industry. Some states have even closed golf courses – although that hasn't happened in Florida, where Trump owns two golf courses.

It is kind of like that one time at band camp when you played spin the bottle with Biden, Chuck, and Nancy. :cool:

That’s a false dichotomy and it’s nowhere near that noble. Socialism creeps in once people realize they can vote themselves access to other people’s money.

Capitalism left far to many gaps.
It's almost as if not everything valued by society revolves around individual monetary profit.
Imagine that

Here's the issue with all the wealth sharing socialist folks they forget that the American Dream is an opportunity, not a guarantee. Some folks are born into wealth, some earn it and some are too lazy to pursue it. To be frank, I don't give a sh!t what category any of you fall under, thats on you and it's not my responsibility to take care of you.

We keep putting the same people in office, expecting different results.

Two bad candidates, and people are more obsessed with politics and Trump hate/love. Neither Trump nor Biden deserve to be elected, but no one worth a damn will run for the office.

I can't figure out why someone who should be our president would want to be our president. What our country needs is not what the population will tolerate.

As long as Trump did nothing wrong; we all agree with him that that is the only thing that's really important.

No one is going to get a global pandemic and a potential great depression in the making, 'right'. But to have media and House and Senate Dem leaders continue pushing a false narrative that Trump did nothing, didn't listen to the experts, etc. is simply a grand lie during an actual crisis. The pandemic is going to be small fooking potatoes if we reach Depression-era levels of unemployment and destruction of the economy.

And throughout, Democrats contribution from impeachment to investigating C19 response, will have been "Just get him, hook or crook". They carried Russia's water, now China's. At some point, we have to call you treasonous.

It points to the idea that either she (along with many others in and outside politics) were ignoring the mounds of evidence that this was going to be an epic event, or she (along with others) were looking at a lot of the same misguided info that China and the WHO had pushed out and we really didnt know much of anything.
Even now part of the argument against the country phasing back to work is the unknown of what this virus will do next. That isnt being aided even now by China sitting on valuable information not only to the US but the rest of the globe.

I dont believe the first line of thought from any of the sides represented.

That also wont stop the "But Trump....," "But Pelosi..." "But Fauci"......etc.
