Disney plans to inject loads of cash into some of its tried and true business sectors, announcing plans to nearly double its investment into theme parks and cruises.Over the next decade, Disney will be spending about $60 billion on, among other things, "investing in expanding and enhancing domestic and international parks and cruise line capacity."It's unclear exactly what that means, but it can be fun to speculate. Disney already plans to expand the current footprint of Disneyland in Anaheim into its existing company-owned property. And Disney has already announced plans for two new cruise ships that are expected to be delivered in the next two years and a third shortly after. So what else is the entertainment giant cooking?"Disney doubling its spending on theme parks and cruise ships over the next 10 years tells us that the company is, as Paul Simon might say, leaning on old familiar ways," said David Lazarus, KTLA's business and consumer news expert.

He doesn’t know who flew him to Northern California. A year later, this migrant’s future is uncertain.

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:59:24 GMT

BY JUSTO ROBLES | CalMattersIn the final hours of Sept. 15, 2022, Pablo Silva and four other Venezuelan men were wandering downtown Sacramento, a city they had never heard of, searching for a roof over their heads.They didn’t find it.They had traveled thousands of miles to escape violence and poverty in Venezuela. Silva said he and the men had asked for asylum at the border in Texas and, after they were processed, immigration officials gave them paperwork with an address, saying it was a shelter in Sacramento.To this day, Silva isn’t sure who bought his ticket to California, but penniless and hungry he accepted, expecting a better future in the state capital.After hours of walking in Sacramento, Silva spotted the address — 1107 9th St. — and imagined himself sleeping in a warm bed inside the tall building.But a security guard there stopped him and the other men before they could knock and said, with the help of Google Translate, that there was no shelter in the Forum Building, a 10-...

Leonardo DiCaprio uses African diplomat’s SUV to speed through London traffic: report

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:59:24 GMT

Traffic is a nightmare in many of the world’s major metropolitan cities, but Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly found a way to maneuver around the congested streets of London.The Academy Award-winning movie star, “with friends in high places,” has been using a Range Rover with diplomatic license plates to travel around London in the past few weeks, The Sun reported. The bright blue Range Rover with blacked-out windows belongs to a diplomat from the Ivory Coast, The U.K. tabloid said.Technically, diplomats’ cars must abide by U.K. traffic laws, including those that pertain to speed limits and red lights. But The Sun said police often don’t enforce those laws when it comes to embassy vehicles because their drivers would be protected by diplomatic immunity.“It’s no secret that Leo has friends in high places but even by his standards this is well connected,” a source told The Sun.“All diplomatic cars are clearly recognizable via their number...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:59:24 GMT

Low-income seniors and customers with permanent disabilities in Brentwood could save about $25 monthly on their water and garbage bills under a discount program the city has revived.Under the new program, which the City Council unanimously approved last week, utility ratepayers could save $14.08 on their water service and $10.73 on garbage cart service. A 50% discount for the base water rate and a 33% discount for the smallest (32-gallon) garbage option would be offered to those who qualify, Director of Finance Kerry Breen said.First offered in 1981, the city’s water/sewer discount program continued through 2013 when it was stopped, Breen said.“So, the discount program would essentially reopen the program for new applicants,” he said.Breen said the discounts can only be offered with non-rate-related monies such as late fees and service application fees, but he confirmed that there was enough money now to fund up to 950 households. Staff expects annual available revenue of about $125...
