Look at the companies who went woke: Levi’s, Budweiser, Tractor Supply, Carhartt, Harley Davidson, John Deere, all of the sports leagues, and now Cracker Barrel.
These are all iconic American brands, tied in to American identity. These are not companies built by soy boys, these are alpha male type companies.
American identity & conservatives are being targeted!
Look at the pattern. Then find the commonality: all these companies have BlackRock as the major institutional shareholder. Fink is now co-chair of the WEF, and is driving the erasure of American identity & culture. GET FINK. Then the problems will stop.
Massive class action lawsuits should be launched against BlackRock & Fink for destroying shareholder value.
Yes. I have dealt with Fink personally. You are 💯 correct. He’s EVIL. On his deathbed - hopefully soon - guaranteed he’ll be thinking, “Damn, I almost took it ALL!”
if our "friend" Larry Fink, gets what he deserves....he won't die in bed...he will die on the scaffolds while hanging from a rope...but let it be known....I personally am not advocating any such actions. However, I WILL applaud should they occur.
One reason BlackRock is the largest shareholder of all these major companies is that they run the largest index fund tied to the S&P 500. This forces them to hold a proportional interest in all these large businesses, simply because of the way the fund is designed. But the part they are missing is that they are just a street-name shareholder; they own all their shares for the benefit of the fund's unit-holders. They are supposed to vote their shares in the best interest of those unit-holders. Whether they always do that is an open question.
The only way that situation can be eliminated is if ETF's are eliminated, which will probably not happen.
On the topic of deliberate sabotage....take a look at this funny video about the hideous buildings that have infested our cities and the man who designed them.

It’s difficult to identify the source of the deliberate will of corporate self-harm/destruction. At first, I thought it was misjudgment, stupid decision-making. Then I thought ok… CEO DEI hires - external university grads with nothing but excellence in PC-speak and academically inspired, ‘radically left-wing approved’ hatred. Now I’m not so sure. Who gives the ‘go ahead’ on stabbing one’s own corporate success right through the heart with the sharpest of hunting knives? Certainly majority shareholders have a say in how corporations are shaped or mis-shaped, but even majority shareholders must answer to the other shareholders who would like a successful corporation to continue being successful. Who truly gives the ‘green light’ to willful self-destruction after the DEI tornado has already taken its toll and lost energy out into the yonder flatlands? It’s a special beast, one which can exert so much control over a corporation that even the rules of profit are abandoned for a ‘greater’ cause. In true Capitalism there IS no greater cause. Therefore, no matter the administration it seems, there is some presence of a ‘wannabe’ Command and Control economy, a post-Capitalist society which continues to wait in the wings until the yellow stars align…
I remember when Kentucky Fried Chicken was a restaurant with waitresses and a jukebox song selector at your booth at the end of the table by the window, that you would flip through the pages of songs to choose and you'd put a quarter in to pick 3.
It seems to be quite clear that they're hiring would-be elites who view the products as far too pedestrian. They hate the product. What could go wrong?
NPR is another example, with a CEO making speeches about how truth is inconvenient and not truly necessary. They lost me for good there (me, a former documentarian, editor and news announcer for NPR.)
This supercilious attitude to one's own customers is hard to stomach unless you have swallowed all the self-hate kool-aid.
When we understand that everything is owned by BlackRock and Vanguard and State Street, and these are all ethnically jewish corporations, and jews hate Gentiles, then you can see how they want to piss on anything Gentile that is iconic.
Jaguar's lead advertising manager was Rawdon Glover.
A little judicious manipulation of the name reveals a monstrous sodomite, which is of course the besetting sin of the jew.
Made my day, again, John Leake. Surely, you are the best. I suspect your suspicions are well founded. BlackRock's ESG and DEI ultimatums (my humble guess) resulting in corporate disaster.
If it’s a freedom thing they have it in the crosshairs. Cars are near the top of the list, as are airliners. Yes it’s deliberate, and if we allow the destruction to continue it will only get worse
All these companies that go whacko have one thing in common, BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street.
Jaguar is part of Tata Motors, which is primarily owned by Tata Sons Pvt Ltd., which is the main holding company of the Tata Group, holding a significant portion of its shares. Other major shareholders include the Life Insurance Corporation of India and other domestic and foreign institutional investors like SBI Funds Management and BlackRock. The Tata family, through charitable trusts, also holds a large portion of the stock in the parent company, Tata Sons.
Besides BlackRock and Vanguard, major shareholders in Cracker Barrel include GMT Capital Corp. and Alliance Bernstein L.P., according to recent filings. Other significant institutional investors also hold Cracker Barrel stock, and the company's ownership is a mix of institutional, insider, and individual investors.
Beyond BlackRock and Vanguard, some of the largest owners of Anheuser-Busch InBev stock include a family-controlled investment vehicle, tobacco company Altria, and numerous other major asset management firms. Owners of Miller Lite.
Besides BlackRock and Vanguard, State Street Global Advisors and Charles Schwab Investment Management are major institutional owners of Target stock. Other significant shareholders include Franklin Resources and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, with institutional investors collectively owning over half of the company's shares.
Deliberate sabotage is what I’ve been pondering. There is no other explanation in my mind. I suppose it’s part of the plan which must include removing our joy in socializing, eating out, enjoying a drive with the wind in your face, removal of simpler pleasures.
There is stupidity in so much business advertising. I don't want to purchase an expensive beverage called "MUD" WTR (water). I won't buy an oatmeal mix called "Sludge". I won't sit and eat at a wiener place called "DogTown". I can't support an insurance company whose entire theme is "don't be like your {idiot} parents'. I can picture the punks, so proud to be executives, thinking how creative and edgy they are.
Well I cannot think of any other logical reason for these actions...as every single movement by these criminal orgs is ALL ABUT THE MONEY with no thought about living breathing humans.
This is ALL by design. No mistakes were made.

Yep, I've looked every one of them up, even Target, you are right...and Harley even has a DEI CEO now...geez!
One theory on Cracker Barrel is they want to run the business into the ground to sell the prime real estate.

John, Thank you for all your great work.
Thanks for this, Marie-Louise! One of the best things I've seen in a very long time. Regards, John
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, John:) Best, Marie-Louise
That was hilarious. Lots of architects in the comments section who say this is the kind of rubbish they're teaching these days.
"Gerhardt F." must be the unheralded 'genius' behind all the residential roof solar panels blighting our neighborhoods.
Making fun of "The Brutalist" perhaps?
This video censored in Australia, cannot view
Also unavailable in Canada...
You just have to do a youtube search for it Ruth, you will be able to view it.
Wow. I am shocked and horrified that this video is censored in Australia and Canada! Any idea why? Thank you, Judy.
Why am I not surprised?
hahahaha!
Jaguar sales dropped 97%...I wonder, if the company learned a lesson? It is amazing what the wrong kind of advertising can do..
It can make people feel you hate them.
F150
Never buy a foreign vehicle
1996 F-150, 4x4, full bed, manual transmission. Useful, no frills. Keeping it on the road
Fink🤢🤮WEF continues to become desperate

Cracker Barrel, ugh, removing Americana. God draws us to beautiful things that warm our heart, Satan to bland and ugly.

Deliberate attack on stock price... so BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street can acquire more at a discount???
Well I cannot think of any other logical reason for these actions...as every single movement by these criminal orgs is ALL ABUT THE MONEY with no thought about living breathing humans.
You have swallowed the lie that we are humans.
The word is legally defined as "A kind of monster," so if that's what you want to be, then so be it.
As for me and my house, we are men, women, and children, as God made us.
