Sears could have been Amazon but they were short-sighted.

So Amazon becomes Sears.

Exactly.

Amazon just replaced Sears giant 20lb paper catalog with an internet online catalog.

Yes. They were Amazon without the internet at one time.

The irony of that isn’t lost.

Not Sears, but JCPenny’s, they had a 4 billion dollar a year catalog business that had 11 “outlet” stores just to unload merchandise that wasn’t selling or had been returned.

Amazon put that out of business.

At one time the Sears catalog occupied every home, it was called a wish book, now a web page serves that purpose, only much better. Fact is I find things on YouTube and Amazon that I didn't know existed, things I have needed and could be found nowhere else. Life goes on.
