Doesn’t surprise me. Their original content ain’t cheap to produce, and I’m sure the licensing fees for premier movies must be expensive.

I’ve been wondering for a while how they make money. But what do I know? I would have bought Sear’s stock on @Dennis_DeYoung ’s advice.

That’s good advice. Word is once their holiday catalogs hit everyone’s mailboxes profits will be going through the roof!

Payback is a bitch. The Sears mail order catalog was the Amazon of its day. Ask the folks at the general store.

True dat. I used to love going through the holiday one every year and tear out the pages of what I wanted for Christmas.

Here’s a great archive of some of the past catalogs - some of them are pretty hysterical:

I remember coming of age during the tail end of the Sears catalog era and, uh, finding some alone time with the underwear section. Contrast that with my son, who will probably jerk off for the first time to an 8K VR video of Germans fisting and shitting on each other that he'll accidentally stumble upon while doing a search for monarch butterflies for a school project. Strange world...
