Someone seemed to diss the merchandize Cracker Barrel carried. I found many beautiful items there that I still have. I found some great gifts for grandchildren, including clothes. I found some great clothes for myself. They also sponsor some wonderful music artists and sell good albums. I enjoyed being able to shop while waiting to get into the restaurant.
I have no doubt that merchandize would have to be carefully decided upon to continue sales. A lot of young people do not like antiques, but not everything in the store was that anyway. A lot of young people like the clean, sparse lines of modern design for their homes. However, I don’t know anyone, personally, who does not like a relaxing cabin atmosphere. Then again, I live in cabin country, and we are flooded by all those young people who want to get out of the city every weekend and all summer long.
How wonderful to live with such few problems that we can bother discussing a restaurant’s logo and marketing. 🙂
“Wow, a brutal behind-the- scenes look at what happened with Cracker Barrel. A top investor tried to warn them four times that what they were doing was “folly.” He even made a 120 page presentation to illustrate that what they were about to do would be disastrous. He was dismissed as an “activist” investor because he was known as a Trump supporter.
When he tried to get board replacements so that Cracker Barrel would make better decisions, shareholders, led by Blackrock and other behemoth firms, instead voted in the company’s “recommended” board choices.
And so the Cracker Barrel executives who thought they knew better pushed ahead with the rebrand and distancing the chain from its core customer base.
And now we have the results. An absolutely fascinating read. “
I don’t think our own government should have backdoor access to our private information. Why would I want UK to have it?
I can’t wait until Trump decides he wants his very own personal backdoor ( solid gold of course) and all the sycophants line up to praise the idea as genius — completely forgetting why the opposed it 20 minutes ago. ;–)

“JD Vance just blocked the UK government from snooping on your iPhone.
Britain tried to corner Apple with two brutal choices:
“Hand over global access to every user’s data — or pay $10 million a day.”
Legal analysts said Apple had no shot.
So Vance stepped in and went toe-to-toe with the UK himself:”
—
“Comply and betray every user’s privacy.
Or refuse and face crippling penalties.
Tim Cook chose defiance: “We refuse to build a backdoor that would weaken security for every one of our customers worldwide.”
But this wasn’t just Apple’s fight:”
—
“WhatsApp, Google, Microsoft, Signal, and Telegram all opposed the order.
They knew the truth about backdoors.Once created, they can’t be controlled.
History had already proven this:”

If one democracy could force backdoors, others would follow.
American data would be exposed globally. He took personal charge:”

“Vance was in charge and was personally involved in negotiating a deal,” US officials confirmed.
He coordinated with Trump and DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
