The Walt Disney Company does. I realize the shorthand is valid, but it just reads like Walt is still alive. I guess I’m being pedantic for my own sake…

Being even more pedantic, he maybe still is, by some definition.

You're going to have to explain that one. My first guess is you mean his legacy but a man's legacy is not the same as his life.

Scotia, CA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotia,_California It is a “company town”, but it is not incorporated. You can also find a company town near you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_company_towns_in_the_U...

I’d add Sinclair, WY to that list. I stumbled upon it while driving cross country. It’s kinda surreal.

It's Wikipedia. Go ahead and add it. :)

There's a popular rumor that he froze his head in anticipation of being revived in the future

Ah. Let's generously say that did happen and it works out for him at some indeterminate point in the future.

Would you then consider the frozen and completely inactive head disconnected from a living body vital for sustaining the living processes of the head of Walt Disney still living in the present? If this thread is to be completely pedantic, we have to go all the way here.
