@2thewilberforce Sorry for this. They leave a hole no matter how long you have them.

A lot of Americans remember Sears as a dying store in a half-empty mall.

That’s not what Sears was.

Sears was how American factories entered ordinary houses. Kenmore in the kitchen. Craftsman in the garage. DieHard under the hood. Coldspot humming in the corner. Lawn tractors in sheds. Socket sets in drawers that nobody was allowed to lose.

It was basements, workbenches, catalogs, part numbers, repairmen, delivery trucks, credit accounts, and old men who could hear a washer struggling before it finally quit.

A kid could flip through the Wish Book and learn what adulthood looked like. Tools. Appliances. Work boots. School clothes. A bicycle. Sometimes even a whole house ordered by mail and built piece by piece after the materials came in by rail.

That was the part Sears understood. America was full of people trying to build stable lives with practical things.

Then the practical world got replaced by a disposable one. The catalogs vanished. The stores hollowed out. Manufacturing moved overseas. Repair got expensive. Replacement got cheap. The people who knew how everything worked got older, retired, or died, and a lot of what they knew went with them.

People call it the death of a department store.

I don’t.

Sears was one of the last national systems that still assumed ordinary Americans should know how to maintain the world around them instead of just replacing it. That’s the strange poverty nobody talks about now.

Not having fewer things. Having more than ever and understanding almost none of them.

@SenMarkKelly Then defend all of it not the select sections you agree with. You 2A stance is abhorrent.

@SenSchumer Or pass the clean CR and negotiate. If you wanted the credits extended you should have made them permanent when uncle joe was in charge

@BridgetPhetasy Free public transit, free groceries and affordable housing. the picture looks real nice and if you are affected by any of those it hard to not vote for “Hope and change”.
