The women told local outlets they were fired two weeks after reporting a robbery to police. "We didn't really feel very protected or know what else to do," Rogers told local TV station 11Alive.

After a year of maneuvering on both sides, Walt Disney Co. is suing Florida Gov.

Since Disney+ launched in November 2019, most of the attention has been on the service’s rapid pace of growth. Over the past couple of quarters, direct-to-consumer losses have narrowed, from $1.47 billion in the October quarter to $1.05 billion in the holiday quarter.

☆ How Ron DeSantis Could Unlock $86 Million for a Presidential Run
  + stars: | 2023-04-29 | by ( Julie Bykowicz | Alex Leary | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
After a year of trying to outmaneuver each other, Walt Disney is suing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. WSJ’s Arian Campo-Flores explains what is behind the lawsuit.
