The Woke Capitalism Thread (Get Woke, Go Broke)

Wasn't sure where to post this. For the last several years, the entire woke west has gone bananas over "CO2 emissions". Now they are claiming that a computer/server produces CO2.

I'm not an electrical engineer, nor a physicist, so I'm looking for an honest non-woke answer from someone who works professionally in one of those fields. A longer, scientific, detailed answer is fine...I can grasp it. I've searched online, but all I find is woke BS.

I know that humans produce CO2 when we exhale, but that is vital for plant growth, so whether CO2 is good or bad is not my question. I just need a scientific answer for the wokesters.

So, can computers, mobile phones, and other electronics REALLY produce CO2, as claimed? I would assume the production process using fossil fuels would produce CO2, but not the devices themselves. Am I wrong about this?

They use a lot of electricity, and that mostly involves making CO2. If the number of servers doubles, the total CO2 output goes up a lot.

OK, again...the generation of electricity to run the machines potentionally creates CO2 (unless nuclear/wind/solar), but the devices themselves do not create or release it.

Yes, that's true. The device doesn't create CO2. It only causes the release of CO2 if you use it.
 


I don't think they have any cars right now which is the reason for the drop but still their decision to go all EV, with super faggotry no less, while EV's are no longer selling is going to kill them off anyway they are just going to lose a bunch more money first.

The crazy part is they had an enthusiast base, barring some miracle halo car no they weren't going to compete with the big guys anymore but they still had a path to profitability if they had catered to that base even with their terribly built cars. But hey instead they decided to embody the title of this thread....they deserve it.

People are forgetting that Jaguar had previously announced it was ceasing automobile production for a model year to "regroup" itself, i.e. figure out exactly WTF they are going to design, build, and do.

Jaguar had stillborn electric XJ sedan and a larger J-Pace companion crossover well underway that were both cancelled in 2019. Photos of both leaked out last year and the car itself was a blend of LaCrosse and Model S with Jaguar cues. Very derivative and boring for a Jag.

Jaguar's problem is that its caught between embracing its persona as traditional upper-scale English motorcar (which appeals to a limited and shrinking customer base) and reinventing itself as an entirely new luxury brand (which appeals to no-one). That pink concept is just that - a styling concept, a dream car, a template of what Jag's design direction could be. Its not bad in and of itself really - the goofball French-style marketing is what called attention to it.

I suppose they are going through with this GT car as its flagship. Perhaps it will be its only model because I don't see a case where Jaguar can sustain itself as a full-line marque any longer.
 
Love this girl's channel. She's so right about how the aesthetics in our cafes and restaurants have changed for the worse. What used to be "cozy" or "Americana" now feels sterilized and dehumanized.


Isn’t Cracker Barrel now run by some sickening LGBT bug-eyed monster?

I’ve had some great experiences on past road trips there. I stopped at one in Indiana, a little west of South Bend I think, and had breakfast with the kids and wife. We picked up a few audiobooks, and as I recall you just dropped them off at another Cracker Barrel along the way when you were done, like renting a car or a video from Blockbuster. The staff was so nice there and it had a really cozy, old-timey feel. I liked the patrons too. Can’t have that anymore, can we?

Yep, woke and homo.

Cracker Barrel Nukes Woke Logo, Brings Back "Old Timer" In MAGA Cultural War Victory​



Steak 'n Shake on X with a fiery post...


And another.


* * *


Update (1954ET):

Trump responds on Truth Social:




MAGA logs another victory in the cultural war against woke corporate America.

* * *



Update (1922ET):

Hours after President Trump commented on the Cracker Barrel logo, the restaurant chain released a statement bowing to popular demand, announcing it would revert to its old logo of the "Old Timer."

"Our new logo is going away and our "Old Timer" will remain," Cracker Barrel wrote in an X post.

Here's the full statement:

We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel. We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away and our "Old Timer" will remain.

At Cracker Barrel, it's always been – and always will be – about serving up delicious food, warm welcomes, and the kind of country hospitality that feels like family. As a proud American institution, our 70,000 hardworking employees look forward to welcoming you to our table soon.

The world is healing.



Now what happens to the CEO?



Hmm.

Update (1045ET):

President Trump has chimed in on the Cracker Barrel bullshit:

Cracker Barrel should go back to the old logo, admit a mistake based on customer response (the ultimate Poll), and manage the company better than ever before.

They got a Billion Dollars worth of free publicity if they play their cards right. Very tricky to do, but a great opportunity. Have a major News Conference today.

Make Cracker Barrel a WINNER again.

Remember, in just a short period of time I made the United States of America the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. One year ago, it was “DEAD.” Good luck!

As Steve Watson detailed earlier via Modernity.news, Cracker Barrel’s stock price tumbled by almost 14 percent last week after the company rolled out a new and extremely bland and soulless logo.

Critics accused the company of undergoing a ‘woke’ make over, with the removal of the “Uncle Herschel” logo—a white man sitting on a barrel, a iconic part of the brand since 1977.

The new sterile logo is completely devoid of character and has little link to the nostalgia of the long standing logo.


The company also announced plans to remodel its restaurants, to do away with the country-store type décor including trinkets, dark wood, and front-porch rocking chairs.

The new restaurants will be brighter and have modern aesthetics, according to Julie Felss Masino, Cracker Barrel’s CEO since late 2023.

Felss claims that Cracker Barel is not abandoning its roots, but is “evolving” in order to cater for modern diners.

The damage was done, however, and the backlash was swift.

Cracker Barel Shares plunged more than 14 percent, a loss of around $200 million in market value. Prices eventually settled at $50.84 per share, a drop of around 13.9%.

Since that time, some value has been salvaged, evening out at about a $143 million loss.

Chief marketing officer Sarah Moore claimed that the changes are what customers want.

Clearly they don’t.

The resulting plunge in market value has forced the company to issue a further statement titled, “A Promise to Our Guests,” walking back the plan to remodel.

“We’re truly grateful for your heartfelt voices. You’ve also shown us that we could’ve done a better job sharing who we are and who we’ll always be,” Cracker Barrel wrote on Facebook.



The company further asserted that, “The things people love most about our stores aren’t going anywhere: rocking chairs on the porch, a warm fire in the hearth, peg games on the table, unique treasures in our gift shop, and vintage Americana with antiques pulled straight from our warehouse in Lebanon, Tennessee.”

There was an assurance that the “old timer” figure of founder Uncle Herschel will still be seen on menus and in stores. Obviously they’ve realised the change was disastrous, but can’t walk it fully back because they’ve already financed the terrible logo rebrand.

“We know we won’t always get everything right the first time, but we’ll keep testing, learning, and listening to our guests and employees,” the statement said, adding “At the end of the day, our promise is simple: you’ll always find comfort, community, and country hospitality here at Cracker Barrel.”
