Under the guise of "hurr durr, I'm so stupid I'm going to make all the wrong decisions and the company will fail" Cracker Barrel is intentionally being destroyed. Not for ideological reasons, although that may be the icing on the cake, but for money.

You may remember Yahoo and how Google employee Marissa Mayer was made CEO and immediately started making radical changes. Everyone one of her decisions was a disaster. Yahoo went from near peer to Goggle to being irrelevant. But Marissa isn't stupid, these weren't mistakes, she profited from this destruction. She's now a literal billionaire.

Same thing is happening with Cracker Barrel. Julie Felss Masino isn't a stupid ideologue. She's intentionally tanking the company. Either to lower stock prices so she and her buddies can buy more shares at a discount, or completely torpedoing the company so it can be sold off in parts to it's competitors (owned by her buddies)
