This board had a group of people who would post about how Sears was going to be fine, get through this, etc, etc.
Now that reality is sinking in, which really should not have been so hard to see, it's time for the next phase of reality checks. You see, Sears going under and you guys losing your jobs is not the end of the story.
No.
Reality check #2 is that Sears is not alone in its downward spiral. Not by far. It may be the worst apple in the bin, but the bin is full of rotten apples. Many of you have not woken up to the fact that Sears is failing at this time for a reason, along with hundreds of retailers and other companies which are not in the retail industry.
Did you know the medical sector is laying off thousands of people and hospitals are going bankrupt? Google it, it is true.
Did you know that local governments are laying people off too? Teachers, municipal workers, all kinds of jobs with local governments are being lost.
Did you know that restaurants are going out of business worse than the 2008 recession?
Did you know that even major car manufacturers are laying off tens of thousands as auto sales are falling?
I could go on, but you get the idea. What's happening to you is not all about Sears, it is merely one symptom of a much, much bigger problem. Go to the Verizon wireless board, where they are seeing mass layoffs, stores closing like crazy, and "No traffic in malls."
Yes, malls aren't dying because of Amazon's measly 4% retail market share. They are dying because people are broke, and the past year many jobs have been lost and that is only getting worse. You won't hear this on CNN or FOX, because admitting the truth isnt something the mainstream media is known for.
You're going to have to figure it out, according to what your own eyes see in front of your own face.
