Hasbro Hitched Its Wagon to WOKE Disney and 1,900 Lost Their Jobs

Breitbart Reports: Hasbro Toys has just announced the layoff of 1,100 souls a few weeks before Christmas, which comes two years after extending a deal with the Disney Grooming Syndicate to sell Star Wars, Marvel, and Indiana Jones toys.

Hasbro already laid off 800 staffers earlier this year.

Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks blamed this setback on “headwinds” and a slowdown in toy sales after the Covid Lockdown Toy Sales Boom.

Let’s not be too hard on him. Like the corporate media, the FBI, and politicians, CEOs are paid to lie. We all know what the “headwinds” are: To begin with, the insane inflation caused by Bidenomics, which has murdered the spending power of the average family.

And then there are the groomers…

With the benefit of two years of hindsight, this is pretty amusing:

Hasbro Inc. today announced an extended relationship with Lucasfilm, renewing its longstanding licensing deal for Star Wars, and announcing a new agreement to develop products based on the Indiana Jones franchise.… The Indiana Jones line by Hasbro will be available in globally in 2023, aligning with the release of the highly anticipated new Indiana Jones feature film.

“Disney has long valued its relationship with Hasbro in developing fresh, imaginative products and toys that delight our fans of all ages,” gushed Stephanie Young, President of the Disney Grooming Syndicate’s Consumer Products, Games and Publishing. “We’re thrilled to continue collaborating with this iconic company—one that will help lift our consumer experiences across the Marvel, Star Wars and now Indiana Jones franchises to new heights for years to come.”

Two years later, Star Wars is more hated than ever. Marvel movies are flopping, and the “highly anticipated new Indiana Jones feature film” went down in an ocean of red ink without a trace of impact on popular culture.
