Walt Disney's Great-Niece Abigail Disney Goes on Unhinged Rant About 'Right Wing Nonsense'
[PJ] Back in 2014, I introduced you to Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of Walt Disney’s brother and business partner Roy. When we first met her, the heiress, documentarian, and far-left activist was biting the hand that feeds her by doubling down on the patently false smears that the left has aimed against Walt for generations in their attempts to paint him as sexist, racist, and antisemitic.

On Friday, Abigail Disney went on an unhinged rant on Twitter. The rant wasn’t aimed so much at DeSantis and Florida’s Republicans or in support of Disney’s extreme woke turn, but against "right wing nonsense" and the business world.

And as best I can tell, it wasn’t an April Fool’s Day joke.

My understanding is that - as a rule of thumb - the great American fortunes have lasted just about three generations, one notable exception being the Rockefellers.

#4 The old saying is "Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations. Thus the development of trust funds and foundations. The initiative still withers away but the money marches on. Often to an extreme leftist beat.

#7 Someone should quiz her about the law because I'm nearly certain she only knows the lefty strawman version of the law.

#8 You can sneer all you like about the "three generations" cliche, but people like her aren't in any danger of going broke and this article doesn't even mention it. Today's wealthy are hoarding away the vast majority of the money created by our incredible culture, locking it away so we can't get to it. Our wages haven't gone up since 1971. Whistle past the graveyard all you like.

#9 ^ What did I say? Trust funds and foundations. All she knows about her money is that "people" are "taking care of it." She's no Carnegie or Frick.

#10 She will die. The current fetish among the legacy riche is to leave nothing to their children. It's not like it will be disbursed to a lot of "deserving poor," but These foundations are basically candles and they will burn down to nubs.

She is so far left she can be seen coming up with the sunrise.

Why is so important for the LEFT/LGBXT? to lie about the bill? Because they see a need Brainwash more minds earlier.

Hell, it use to be we taught Sex Ed in the 6th or 7th grades about when kids reach puberty 12-13 year-olds. Then they added Homosexuality. Now they want to push a gay agenda in Kindergarten (5-year-olds) - 3rd grade 8-9 years olds.

Read F'ing law Before opening mouth and reciting Fake News.

Odd, my last wage was an order of magnitude greater than my 1971 first. You must not do much of value.

#15 Gee I get a good raise every year and a fat bonus tied to the company performance. But then I have a valuable skill which my employer appreciates.
