    I was going to say that’s incredibly on brand for Disney. Everything I have ever heard about Comcast seems to back up this move.

    I’m surprised about IBM though, more because I didn’t realize they were still around than anything else.

      IBM sold “inmate” counting machines to Nazi Germany. Like, sent techs there to the camps to size up the requirements and everything. It should NOT come as a surprise that they’re back on X - they’ve never had an issue with Fascism (or any other ism) as long as they had money to spend on overpriced iron.

        Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but why would they even need a machine to count the prisoners? If they didn’t feed their victims and were planning to murder them anyways I’m having trouble understanding why they wouldn’t be okay with just a loose head count. Was it really just for counting?

        I hope I’m not coming across as insensitive, I’ve just never heard about this and it sounds so ominous.
