Disney Parks Laying Off 28,000 Cast Members

We bring breaking news that Disney Parks Chairman Josh D'Amaro has announced the layoff of some 28,000 domestic Disney Cast Members. This is in response to not just the pandemic that is COVID-19, but also to the failure of California Governor Newsom to provide guidelines and lift restrictions for the Disneyland park in Anaheim, California to open. We study the official statement, and then answer a number of questions related to not only the layoffs but why Disneyland has not re-opened.
