Reading this, it makes it seem that Sears died because the middle class died. Why did people ditch this middle-of-the-road experience for the cheaper one? Because they were forced to.
- ghaff 8y agoPeople ditched the middle-of-the-road experience because the cheaper experience wasn't an option. Would I buy things for more money if there were no Walmart? Sure. But, for many things, I'll buy at Walmart given the option. Even middle class people like to save money and the value add from more expensive shops often isn't worth the price.
