@polarbear2579 Creative destruction. Jeff Bezos had vision, Sears didn't. It's a very healthy aspect of business....change with the times and customer requirements or die. No company is forever, that includes Amazon.

@mannfan12 However--there is room for both and those with no credit card, or Walmart regulars, it works for them. Walmart has a workable model and competition is crucial, Amazon is getting a bit too powerful.

@RyanSellman1 No. I cross shop at Home Depo and they beat Amazon on price often and with free home delivery, Grainger has gotten it together online with great customer service and prices, McMaster Carr has stuff few others do, and many others are doing fine. Amazon doesn't have it all and their prices are not always competitive. America became grossly over capacity with malls anyway compared to other countries, 4X the square footage, those were due for a retreat.

How so? What do bankers have to do with anything here other than allowing Sears extra time to change or die?

@JipJDB Of their time. I know as well as anyone, in my tiny town it was the source for everything other than groceries. I don't know what you are saying "actually" about, I already said or implied that.

@chukchee We don't know that humans will exist for centuries but yeah Sears had it's day and it's not to be missed, it couldn't hold a candle to AMZN.
