Called Off
What happened? Everyone seems to be calling off their boycott of Disney.
Did it work? Let's see. Since the Southern Baptist boycott of Disney began, the company's value has tripled, and its impact on media and entertainment now dwarfs what it was before. Sure, there's routine conglomerate infighting, but the impact of the boycott? About as much as a stone against a bulldozer.
This country is blessed with a free market. It's nice to know that while politicians may be held hostage by extremists, the pursuit of enterprise never will.
