Never mind, must be too heavy a file here..
Sears Roebuck is closing a ton more stores. Looking like they will go bellyup before long. I went to undergrad school in the shadows of the Sears Tower in downtown Chicago. That was their heyday when it seemed they owned everything. Oh how far they have fallen. Sears, the pioneer of gargantuan mail order merchandise and the biggest retail beast ever to exist never saw the Amazon's of the world coming. Now they are being drawn, quartered, and hung on a meat hook. If the Philip Morris' of the world want to survive they will change before the change comes. Even if it means taking a big hit. Taking a few steps back is better than taking it six feet under.

I think Phillip Morris is doing the exact wrong thing right now. But that's just my opinion. They are trying to create a market where one doesn't exist, and still using tobacco. (I don't care how they are vaporizing the tobacco leaves, it's still tobacco) the market is proving itself in another direction, and taking off in that direction.. I would think they would be better served jumping on the moving train, and doing nicotine extraction and such or even synthetic nicotine.. rather than trying to build another train that is still tobacco based.

I always think of Western Union and how they failed to move with the times.

Tobacco has been used by people for over 3000 years for relaxation, religious, and medicinal practices. Then Big Tobacco companies came along and started added their chemicals and made it into the hated addictive poison it is today. They spent millions mutating the tobacco leaf making it more and more addictive and this is why they don't want to stop using it.
It's easier just to say we're using our tobacco leaf in our vape then to say we are now adding 100's of our addictive cancer causing chemicals to our e-juice.
And if and when Big Tobacco takes over the vape industry, we will see people getting addicted and even getting cancer from vaping.
And as long as the U.S. Department of Health keeps up their lies about vaping and Nicotine is a addictive and dangerous drug, no one will question it.

Amazon has a very small part to do in the downturn of sears. The current CEO and board are entirely at fault. I've met them personally and they are idiots that think hedge fund tactics are the proper way to manage a customer oriented product driven business.

I will not be sorry. Sears lost me as a customer over30 years ago when they tried that "bait and switch" technique on me on two separate occasions over an appliance. Two different stores…yes we do have the one advertized in stock but let me show you this one. No matter how many times we told the salesmen we werent ibterested they wouldnt give up. We walked out.Sears Roebuck is closing a ton more stores. Looking like they will go bellyup before long. I went to undergrad school in the shadows of the Sears Tower in downtown Chicago.

I read an article later that "bait and switch" was encouraged by the Sears big wigs and in fact was required. I also found out that the company policy was to avoid hiring black people at all cost. That did it. My family has never shopped at Sears since.
I'm sure there are many reasons why Sears failed. But to say Amazon was a very small part is understating it IMO. Amazon is killing lots of retail giants.
If it wasn't for their billions of $$$ in real estate holdings, they would be long gone.
It is amazing how much real estate these clowns own.
