Friendly reminder that Eddie Lampert effectively drowned Sears Holdings (Sears & Kmart) in the bath tub. He single-handedly wiped out two major retailers, hundreds of smaller ones, and tens of thousands of jobs in one of the most successful corporate raids ever executed.
What a greedy shit bag.
I’ll be honest: I’m no fan of big corps, but I’m kinda sad that I can’t still buy a build-it-yourself house kit from Sears.
Not Sears, but I just spent a fun few moments looking up “adu kit” “cabin kit” “house kit” “home kit” and “prefab home kit.”
There’s not room to build one inside my little condo, but lots of choices if you have a place to put one.
What if in this zany world there were no billionaires? Would people still be unhappy with their standard of living? My guess is yes but it’s also a catch 22 because billionaires use the sliding scale to minimize wealth for the general populous and maximumize wealth for themselves.
