What about American Apparel?

Thought they were on their last legs?

She took her glasses off and jumped in the pool. She never did go to school though.

No Radio Shack?

Radio Shack has been finished.

All of the ones in Brooklyn have closed or been turned into Sprint mobile stores.

I can't even remember a JC Penney catalog having appliances.... perhaps old age is catching up to me.

What I do remember is Sears having the home appliances and electronics game on lock because they had their own warranty in addition to the manufacturer warranty, plus their own service people to fix shyt.

Problem was Sears markup was about as bad as Fingerhut. It finally caught up to them. Walmart and Best Buy took over the electronics and small appliances market. As for the big appliances market, places like Home Depot, Lowe's got that locked now.

Penney's used to sell kitchen/laundry appliances wayyy back in the day (like 30 years ago), but just recently started sell them again. Since Sears is pretty much in a vegetative state at this point, there is a free for all for their share of the appliance market. Lowe's and Home Depot will get a piece, smaller players like HH Gregg and Frye's will get some, but there's some other guys trying to get in (Penney's, Wal-Mart, Target).

The other thing is that a lot of folks like the Kenmore brand, which Sears own's (although they don't make the product). When they go under someone will cop the brand and it will be interesting if it's another retailer or a manufacturer.

That Theranos bytch was a fraud anyway.

Not gonna lie, I would have spit at her when she was sitting on $4.5B, tho.

People buying shyt off Amazon

Young nerdy kids playing video games and on their computer 24/7 instead of going outside and playing sports.

I find something about this incredibly sad.

Back in the day when I was a kid going outside and being active was where it's at. Whether it was throwing around a football, shooting hoops, playing baseball, skateboardjng, on bikes riding trails...etc. the only time we would be inside was if we were playing video games and somebody got the newest system.

Now this generation of kids doesn't do anything physical. Then they become adults that cant lift anything over 25 pounds. Or they are overweight or obese.

I still see a ton of kids playing sports/being active.

To me, the only difference between now and 20-30 years ago, is that kids are actively choosing to stay inside, versus that being imposed on them by their place in the social strata.

There were always kids that stayed inside back in the day, but it's because they were clowned or didn't fit in, so it was no reason for them to go out and take that psychological punishment. Nowadays, it's kids that actually fit in and have friends and they socialize online (facebook, chat, video games).

JC Penney as well

They were very close a few years ago. They had a new president come in & f*cked everything up. Needless to say they got him out of there with the quickness.
