Hey, it took Sears 125 years to fail

Nov 16, 2018, 10:52 AM

So we get this from the "Sears" of our time...

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/15/bezos-tells-employees-one-day-amazon-will-fail-and-to-stay-hungry.html

He's right though. Some day something better will come along. Maybe a gizmo that instantly creates whatever you need, like from 3d printing or something. Who knows. One thing I know is whoever boxes up crap at Amazon is costing them a ton of money in wasted cardboard and bubble wrap. Got 4 boxes of coffee for the Keurig. Things came in a box big enough to be a 36-inch flat panel TV box. Coffee took up MAYBE 1/4 of the inside of the box.
