Yes, when one is operating alone, it's a pretty easy matter to juggle the books any old way that suits you. But for those who have had to work in the world of multi-billion (BILLION) dollar corporations, it's not just a matter of dropping in at the ATM and shifting a million here and a million there. Seriously, the idea that the new HM queue is defunding unrelated parts of the Disney empire is beyond silly. It's ludicrous. And even more ludicrous is to insult people who started out making their point nicely and with tact...

Originally Posted By barboy2 ///Seriously, the idea that the new HM queue is defunding unrelated parts of the Disney empire/// Looks like you need to reread what I have been writing...... I never said nor held that belief. I said, more or less, fix the broken things first---like Yeti--- then go build queues or new FL's. See, that wasn't so hard to get was it? I also said an organization/person can do whatever it/he chooses to do as long as it/he follows laws including allocating money how it/he sees fit. See, that wasn't so hard either now was it. I'm gearing up to head to Korea to meet a friend and then I'm off to the 3rd world for some extended fun so I'll catch up with you cats later in Asia.......and 'yes' they do have this internet thing over there too.

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "One of the only things that I 'dig' is communicating with thinking humans and you don't qualify, Hans." Keep digging that hole. You may not need to fly to Korea if you keep digging long enough. "But I do agree, I wish they invested the money in refurbs and other more worth while projects." Absolutely, but as others have pointed out, determining what's "worthwhile" is easier said than done.

Agreed, not everyone one is aware of the corporate nature, but usually when they aren't they admit it and decline comment.

I am far from the upper echelons of any large corporation, nor have I earned 15 mil in my lifetime. But I have been in many situations where a company is spending millions for something, yet I can't get a box of pens because there isn't any more money in that budget. Yes, if the higher ups at Disney want to move money around they probably can. But these same higher ups aren't the ones who are actually working with these budgets on a daily basis. >Anyway if you're going to call out rudeness be consistent that way you'll have more credibility around here.< I have plenty of credibility around here, but thanks for being concerned about me!

What, just to satisfy the 3,421 fanbois?< Sadly, there's probably more truth to that than we'd all want. I still enjoy Everest, but I do wish the yeti was working correctly. I've never heard anyone getting off the ride and saying "that ride would have been so cool if only that yeti had been working!"

I'm wrong all the time, and I'm the first to admit it!
Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<Hey, I have no reason to doubt that barboy is indeed a self-made millionaire.>> Oh, I'm sure he could be. Most I've known personally aren't as seemingly arrogant about it as he is, but different strokes for different folks I guess. Most I've known live VERY well but at the same time rarely talk about how much they have.
