Um, not to detract from your larger point, but no they can’t. $11B was net income for the whole company of 223,000 employees. $1.1B (1/10th their net income) is around $5000/employee. Just the Disney world resort apparently has 77,000 employees by itself and a payroll of over $3B. So that 1/10th number would even pay 6 months of payroll for just the florida park, not counting all of the other employees they have in their other divisions, many of whom are also unable to work at the moment.
Yes, Disney has a lot of money. And they have a lot of revenue that is continuing or even increasing during the pandemic. They could afford to keep their parks closed longer and pay their employees at least part of their salary. But pretending it is a “trivial” amount of money even for a company like Disney is not correct.
