Has there business that has ever done less with more over the last 30 years? Look where they stood in 1985:

- Owner of "Discover" brand of credit cards

- Owner of Coldwell Banker real estate

- Owner of Prodigy internet company

- Owner of Sears Tower (tallest building in the world at the time)

- Owner of Allstate Insurance Co.

- Owner of Dean Witter, which is like 1/3 of Morgan Stanley.

They sold ALL of that shit off, and were completely unable to turn their assets into a longterm successful business.

Sears catalog + Prodigy + Discover Card could have pwnt Amazon + Paypal in their infancy. Instead, Sears is now a nice place to park and walk through on the way to the interior of the mall.

I worked at a Sears briefly in early 2000s. It was a mess. I had previously worked at Circuit City, which was managed really well, and I was shocked at how sloppy Sears was, and wondered how it could still be in business.

Sears is the corporation that helped me understand exactly how you could have billions of value in “goodwill.” They haven’t invested in the company in decades and people still shop there. Ownership is literally milking the goodwill down to zero.
