However, stock price plunges tend to get their attention.

You'd never know that looking at Disney's 5-year chart.

Disney is big enough to weather the storm for decades. Cracker Barrel is a small enterprise with a small customer base. Piss off 10% of your loyal customers and you have put one foot in the grave.

Put a fork in them. They’re done.

Disney took their biggest hit in 2022, dropping to $88 per share at year end, vs. $158 at the beginning of that year. (Today's price is $116/share, with a 2025 low of $82 in early April, probably reflecting customer reaction to the Snow White remake.) Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street own 8.6%, 7.2%, and 4.3%, respectively, of Disney common stock and are the three largest shareholders. These firms are leftist in orientation and may look at Disney as a loss leader for their goal of reshaping the world to globalist ends. Disney has stepped back a little bit from the cultural Marxist agenda but will revert to it when the opportunity arises. The entertainment and legacy media business lines have cut several entertainers and news anchors in the last couple of months but their audiences have shrunk to an unprofitable levels. Big Pharma keeps the legacy media funded but they recognize that when fewer eyeballs are watching their plugs for the latest drug, there is no reason to continue to pay them.
