One thing to consider is that the Walt Disney World complex is its own municipality. As long as the corporation do not break State or Federal law, they are free to do as they please within the park. A level at least, would probably be AA or AAA if they could get true extra-territoriality... |

Not surprised, though I'm curious as to why nobody's said a word about fast food employees trying to unionize.
If anything, they should have a shot at health care. |

Yeah. I went to a little presentation at college for working at Disney and went "hell no, I'd rather be unemployed!"

So what does that make Google with their upcoming Arcology? At least an AA I'd think.

God, I have so an evil run mapped out in my head now, regarding the delivery of some C12 & dets to a disgruntled employee wearing a mascot suit.
"You think it's funny? Not so fraggin funny NOW, is it Mouse? Hhuh? Huh? What, no little giggle and an offer to be friends?! No so friendly are we?!" -and then have MouseCorp hire the runners to take down the explosives-wearing madman discreetly as the employee was smart enough to either mark, wire or bug the usual "discreet troubleshooters" that MouseCorp keeps on site. Nothing like a "nobody Wins" Shadowruin in the happiest place on earth. -Tir. |

QUOTE "As word of the homicide blew around town like the leaves from the maple trees that line the sidewalks, people started to worry." ....Dear gods, I've never wished to punch someone over the internet as badly as I did after I read that story. Not the murderer, the reporter. |

Having been granted extraterritoriality is the defining feature of an AA-level corp (well, that and not having a seat on the Corporate Court if you want a definition that excludes AAA-level). ~J |
