Bring back Stuckey's!

I never gave a **** about the logo but I love how the arbiters of truth have gone from "they just used the original logo" to "they're just using a logo similar to the one they had before". Lol! The only similarities between the two are they both have words on them. My word, you mother****ers can never admit when you're wrong. lol


The best thing about the "controversy" is the backpedaling of the liberals. And that you're still mad that CB customers did not like the change. Hilarious.


Exactly.

MAGA is mad the old country fella isn't on the logo anymore because that's woke, somehow.

That's the whole point.

Except...the old country fella wasn't on the original logo either.




Your people have set quite the precedent with the Redskins, Indians, uncle Ben's, Aunt Jemima, etc. so I completely understand people with a vested interest not liking the new logo. I get the incessant willful ignorance by the Dems to not understand the Cracker Barrel patrons opinions as the goal is always to own the right, but most importantly to own MAGA!!!!!

But MAGA won again. Good guys FTW.

What does an old dude on a logo have to do with MAGA?


Exactly. Why did you have to bring MAGA into it?

Why was it important to the white woman CEO to remove the old white man from the logo is the better question.

Because I have eyes and ears and MAGA is obviously who's mad.

The CEO wanted to rebrand to modernize. Companies have to try to stay relevant and many refresh their branding as a component of that. Evidently some people (MAGA) care for some reason (that no one can coherently articulate) that an old dude got deleted from a logo.

Can you explain why deleting the old dude was woke?


Just the standard whitewashing from Dems. Cracker Barrel patrons didn't support it. I think we've all seen how you all have done this in the past with, again, the redskins, Indians, uncle Ben's, Aunt Jemima, and tried with Bud Light. I enjoy the faux ignorance about it. Accentuates how programmed you are imo.

But the way it has made you and your 2 buddies so mad makes me think the lefties are far more triggered than MAGA about all of this. You're so concerned about Cracker Barrel's ability to modernize and refresh their branding!!! Lolololol. Such incredible bull***** Godalmighty.

I don't give two ****s about what private companies do with their branding. It's a closed loop. They live and die by their marketing/branding decisions and other business practices. They can do whatever they think is best. And consumers can respond accordingly.

I do think it's hilarious that the MAGA anti-woke radar is so miscalibrated that it fires off when an old man gets deleted from a logo though. Evidently old men are victims now too.

The logo appears to be the final straw for some. Personally, I think you are misreading this whole thing. BTW, as a person that doesn't give two ****s about a private companies doings, you sure give this subject a ton of attention.

You obviously give two ****s about something…. What is it?

People treasure the timeless and take psychological refuge with things that don't change in a constantly changing world….I'm sure that upset people on some emotional level.

Probably so…

I haven't been to a Cracker Barrel in years. Not because I stand against them; rather, it's not a place that meets my needs, generally speaking. That said, I don't have anything's against the company, until recently, when I've read more about the way the company has, and/or, is being run.

I will think twice, if I'm asked to go there, until, I've read where they are changing some of their operating policies, or, more importantly, their leadership. In summary, this is why I try to stay away from stories like this. I'm sure more companies that I patronize with have similar leaders and implement similar policies.

soon enough, I would run out of places to do business…

Good for them, not every company is going to be able to do that though.

I'm not eating a 5% increase in door security devices and fire alarm devices, I'm just increasing my estimate.

Hokie, that's the company the employs me! BTW, yes, every company can do that. We had a will, then we made a way.

where do you guys fit?

No, every company very clearly cannot do that.

The companies that can and will are fortunate and are operating on higher margins than agriculture, basic manufacturing, commoditized retail, and many other lower-margin industries. Luxury goods, specialized tech, others have more cushion.

My electrician that runs two three man crews in a competitive labor landscape isn't eating copper price increases. He's just not. He can't. He doesn't have the size or the margin. There are thousands of other companies like him that can't or won't.

This argument about "good companies will eat costs and bad companies won't" is untethered from economic and practical realities.

Once we get massive tariffs on copper imports, you all will have to source domestically. Exactly what would've been happening if both Political parties didn't buy (well accept bribes) into the whole globalization boondoggle.

now, you are subjected to the whims of a Politician, as opposed to owning your business direction…

lol domestic copper. Let me just go build a smelting plant.

Just did a google search and this came up in their AI response…

Copper mining in the US is concentrated in the western states, particularly Arizona, which produces roughly 70% of the nation's copper. While the US has significant copper reserves and domestic production, it imports about half of its refined copper, mainly from the Americas. Key players in US copper production include Freeport-McMoRan, Rio Tinto, and the Morenci and Kennecott mines.
we have plenty of mines, we have no smelters to take the or and turn it into usable copper. That is all in Canada and other countries. Same with Aluminum.

There is almost zero domestic production and there never will be. And I'm looking out for Johnny paycheck because I prefer my workers not to expose themselves to arsenic poisoning.

Nothing to do with politics or the subject at hand, but please dont rely on AI for actual answers. The Google search AI in particular isnt great at giving real, actual answers

The best thing about the "controversy" is the backpedaling of the liberals. And that you're still mad that CB customers did not like the change. Hilarious.


Exactly.

MAGA is mad the old country fella isn't on the logo anymore because that's woke, somehow.

That's the whole point.

Except...the old country fella wasn't on the original logo either.




Your people have set quite the precedent with the Redskins, Indians, uncle Ben's, Aunt Jemima, etc. so I completely understand people with a vested interest not liking the new logo.

Just the standard whitewashing from Dems. Cracker Barrel patrons didn't support it. I think we've all seen how you all have done this in the past with, again, the redskins, Indians, uncle Ben's, Aunt Jemima, and tried with Bud Light. I enjoy the faux ignorance about it. Accentuates how programmed you are imo.

But the way it has made you and your 2 buddies so mad makes me think the lefties are far more triggered than MAGA about all of this. You're so concerned about Cracker Barrel's ability to modernize and refresh their branding!!! Lolololol. Such incredible bull***** Godalmighty.

I don't give two ****s about what private companies do with their branding. It's a closed loop. They live and die by their marketing/branding decisions and other business practices. They can do whatever they think is best. And consumers can respond accordingly.

I do think it's hilarious that the MAGA anti-woke radar is so miscalibrated that it fires off when an old man gets deleted from a logo though. Evidently old men are victims now too.

The logo appears to be the final straw for some. Personally, I think you are misreading this whole thing. BTW, as a person that doesn't give two ****s about a private companies doings, you sure give this subject a ton of attention.

You obviously give two ****s about something…. What is it?

People treasure the timeless and take psychological refuge with things that don't change in a constantly changing world….I'm sure that upset people on some emotional level.


Completely agree that this played a part.

But to the extent the stock drops and the right is firing off about it for days on every social and mainstream media outlet?

Were we all doing this when Sears Roebuck went out of business? When the iconic Ford Mustang muscle car got turned into an electric crossover SUV?

This particular issue has become a lightning rod not out of some generic sense of impermanence of Americana (or impermanence of anything for that matter), but because the logo specifically featured an old white man, and the vocal right is fully on board with making older white men out to be the true victims of the left.

Which is a completely wild take that's totally and completely out of touch with the reality of outcomes in this country.

Who wants to take a stab at answering this? Today, once again, we have a horrible shooting. I have two questions that I'd like to see people's opinion on…

  • Was today's shooting and killing Domestic Terrorism?
  • Was today's shooting and killing a Hate Crime?



Democrats are keeping a low profile as this is one of their creations

And not a one will touch my questions…. They are nothing but grievance idiots…

Lol, oh we're the grievance idiots. Riiiiiiiiiight.

The shooter was a member of the church, and an obvious lunatic, so the answers to your questions are pretty clearly no and no. But of course MAGA never lets a good tragedy go to waste.

Now, switch this around and answer the same question. A Christian going into a building full of Trans having some type of meeting, and mow them down…


That would be like Christmas/New Years/4th of July all rolled into one for the left. They would have a field day with 24hrs around the clock coverage of the outrage.

Why are we trying to make sense out of the things that a crazy person did before going out and murdering children? This is the same premise I take BTW when other shootings have happened in schools.

This person doesn't have a political side, because there is no political party that advocates for the murder of children (excluding abortion discussion because I know one of you *******s will respond with that).

Tragedies are tragedies, they are not and should not be part of the body politic.

Once we get massive tariffs on copper imports, you all will have to source domestically. Exactly what would've been happening if both Political parties didn't buy (well accept bribes) into the whole globalization boondoggle.

now, you are subjected to the whims of a Politician, as opposed to owning your business direction…

lol domestic copper. Let me just go build a smelting plant.

Just did a google search and this came up in their AI response…

Copper mining in the US is concentrated in the western states, particularly Arizona, which produces roughly 70% of the nation's copper. While the US has significant copper reserves and domestic production, it imports about half of its refined copper, mainly from the Americas. Key players in US copper production include Freeport-McMoRan, Rio Tinto, and the Morenci and Kennecott mines.

we have plenty of mines, we have no smelters to take the or and turn it into usable copper. That is all in Canada and other countries. Same with Aluminum.

There is almost zero domestic production and there never will be. And I'm looking out for Johnny paycheck because I prefer my workers not to expose themselves to arsenic poisoning.


Do your parents know that you are posting on this site all freaking day and not pretending to work???

It's ok…. It's no secret in your area that you are nothing but a spoiled know it all who has done NOTHING but reap the rewards of being born into a successful family.

Being an absolute arrogant ass suits you well.

And by the way…. YOU aren't looking out for anyone!!! ****ing clown…

I took an extended weekend for the football game. I'm cooking a pig! All by myself! I even bought it with my own money cutting grass!

In my area. LOL, are there signs posted? Did you create a Facebook group? Can I get an invite?

Also, appreciate you staying on topic!

It has also came out that he was mad that he allowed himself to be "brainwashed to believe he was trans…"

Wonder if that gets any coverage?


Clearly this is President Trumps fault!1

Why are we trying to make sense out of the things that a crazy person did before going out and murdering children? This is the same premise I take BTW when other shootings have happened in schools.

This person doesn't have a political side, because there is no political party that advocates for the murder of children (excluding abortion discussion because I know one of you *******s will respond with that).

Tragedies are tragedies, they are not and should not be part of the body politic.


He had "kill Donald Trump" written on one of his magazines…..so I'm going out on a limb and say he didn't vote republican. Call me crazy….

Who wants to take a stab at answering this? Today, once again, we have a horrible shooting. I have two questions that I'd like to see people's opinion on…

  • Was today's shooting and killing Domestic Terrorism?
  • Was today's shooting and killing a Hate Crime?



Democrats are keeping a low profile as this is one of their creations

And not a one will touch my questions…. They are nothing but grievance idiots…

Lol, oh we're the grievance idiots. Riiiiiiiiiight.

The shooter was a member of the church, and an obvious lunatic, so the answers to your questions are pretty clearly no and no. But of course MAGA never lets a good tragedy go to waste.

Now, switch this around and answer the same question. A Christian going into a building full of Trans having some type of meeting, and mow them down…

You mean a Christian who had been a member of that Trans group their whole life, who went nuts and wrote a Manifesto that was published online that didn't even mention trans people, and actually prayed for the soon to be victims of their craziness?

Yeah, still no and no.


How the "kill Donald Trump" written on one of his magazines? How about the anti religious writings? How about the Trans people must be protected (flag included) in his journal?

Any of that matter to you?

Here's their manifesto/suicide note, which you'd assume is what the crazy person wanted you to know about their motivations. How about unplug from the hyper partisan demonic bullsh** you normally gobble up and just read it.

The shooter who opened fire on Wednesday on school children attending a church service in the US city of Minneapolis, killing two students, had "kill Donald Trump" and "nuke India" written on his guns, a video on his now-deleted YouTube channel showed.

Of course your sources are always "truthgobblers.ru" or whatever, so that goes without saying. Did they mention all of the other crap written on the magazines? Or that most of it was written in Russian? Or that the shooter had a video supporting some gun nut for president?

Keep "researching" patriot, the truth is out there!!!

That would be like Christmas/New Years/4th of July all rolled into one for the left. They would have a field day with 24hrs around the clock coverage of the outrage.




Why do you act like this is some hypothetical?

You don't have to squint. 2/3 of ideological shootings over the last couple of decades have been perpetrated by far-right extremists.

And yet, you don't see me running over here when one happens asking you to defend it.

Why do you feel the need to do it?

There's no defense for mentally ill shooters shooting up a school or church or synagogue or whatever.

Gun control would help but we're not getting that so we better pour resources into more robust mental health care in this country. Like, yesterday.

I try not to rationalize the thought of obviously mentally unwell folks. Same goes for the guy who attacked Pelosi's husband, crazy person.

I don't see a correlation between becoming a lunatic who shoots kids in schools vs voting record. I do see a big correlation with mental instability though.

Here is a link to a video by Jeffrey Mead. I believe he used to play football at Oklahoma and he shows how the Main Stream Media will try to manipulate people with their stories. This is from yesterday's shooting at the Catholic School and he just buries the ABC reporter.
