Thread regarding Sears layoffs

"Sears Department store chain rumored to be sold to New York group"

https://www.prlog.org/12888300-sears-department-store-chain-rumored-to-be-sold-to-new-york-group.html

This press release is clearly B.S., but at least it's more interesting B.S. than we usually get here.

I don't care what he's doing something out of. Anyone, regardless of condition, that's trying to scam clicks for fake news, is doing something wrong, and I will call it out. So no, I do not care about anyone's condition.

@2ztp+1dbNNDdW Totally right. I would never discriminate against anyone due to a protected class, BUT, being in a protected class does not excuse bad behavior. Making fake videos to selfishly gain clicks, while spreading false news, is wrong, regardless of who is doing it. I never excuse bad behavior from anyone.

@1zbh+1dbNNDdW agree completely! Far too many excuses for bad behavior in general these days, and his is a prime example.

This is great news. But will Eddie sell or will he close all the stores and put all employees out of work?

He’s not doing anything out of malice. That’s why I care about his condition. And you know what? If he’s got these conditions and his videos help him in making some pocket change, then that does not bother me. People with his condition are compulsive over certain topics or issues, and they don’t “comprehend” in the way you or I would. You keep selfishly expecting that he will listen, in the same way any of us would. But that’s not how his brain processes things. The best question I have is why you’re allowing his actions to bother you, as though he’s a normal person?

I couldn't care less what he is, or isn't on. Spreading false information just to Monetize & get clicks on one's own videos, is not OK.

@uji+1dbNNDdW I Know, right?

Elevator Guy is on the Spectrum. Whether it’s just Asperger’s or full blown Autism, we should be respectful that he functions differently from the rest of us.

@yic+1dbNNDdW: Would you have expected anything less from elevator guy? Lol, he spends his time spreading fake news and videos, then has to make up some wacked out story in an attempt to retract them.

Sorry, I wrote already twice below, and I meant dropped on "their" heads, not his head, because I realized my sentence was plural, not singular. My bad. But still, imagine unironically posting videos about this, thinking it's real. I could sell him an umbrella in the desert.

Elevator guy and his girlfriend Dalmatian something or the other (who always copies his videos) already made videos of this satirical nonsense on YT already, LMAO. 😁🙄😏🤡🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ They unironically, think this is real, instead of realizing this is just satire, like they write in the "Onion" paper. Man, I could write that it's Snowing on Miami Beach in July, and the elevator guy would instantly make a Weather video about it. Talk about gullible.
That dude (and whoever that new sidekick of his is), seriously must have been dropped on his head or something. The loony bin is calling.

@fpk+1dbNNDdW
I Know, right? As you stated, anyone can Say they bought WM for 2 Cents there. Nothing is vetted or verified. I could write on there that I'm the emperor of Japan, and then elevator guy would shortly make a video about it, thinking it was real news.

Eddie would never sell the great Sears, no sir. The name alone is worth Trillions.

Hey, there is absolutely no verification on this website. Everybody can post press releases there, even my grandma telling everybody she bought Walmart for 2 cents ^^

At least it was good for a laugh. Sometimes the company itself generates this sort of news to keep up the appearance of public interest. Last Summer it was "Sears explores selling the home improvement business for a $billion". Maybe they planned to put a free for sale add on Craigslist.

@fng+1dbNNDdW yeah, I would bet they're deliberately using famous names like that to make it harder to Google for more information

Doesn’t appear to be credible based on the article and seems to be directed at attracting viewership above all else.

Some creative writing here, no doubt, but nothing to be taken seriously. Here's Herbert Becker:
