Again, they had to increase their numbers just a few days ago. I've pointed that out to you a couple of times now but you insist on trying to take this back to 2016.

This wasn't about the article you guys give Trump credit for what Obama did while he was in office but when something goes wrong you blame Obama.

I'm not arguing that is started in 2016 (and well before that actually). These are newly released numbers. My point in posting these here is that you can't pick and choose and only post good economic numbers. There are losers in this economy and brick and mortar happen to be one of them.

We know you LOVE Trump. Is it fair for me to say that if Sears was increasing employees you'd be attributing that to him?

Why would Amazon want any of that?

The people don't do anything useful to Amazon ad the real estate assets are largely worthless. The Sears brand is worthless. The merchandise they carry is undesirable.

If their campus is anything like their stores, it's likely some horrible, stuffy 1980s misery farm filled with people who still use CRTs.

Sears has deteriorated to the point that they're not even a desirable takeover target.

Sears did not adequately change with the times and is now paying the consequences. It will not be around much longer. They made a huge, eventual business ending, mistake several decades ago getting out of the direct to customer model (catalog then/internet today) and went with having a brick and mortar store in just about every American market. That is the exact opposite of retail today. Imagine if Sears had kept its catalog with all of its loyal customers and eventually transitioned it over to internet sales while at the same time taking a slower approach to new stores.
