The latest Sears closures are a symptom of the disease. [View all]
The latest round of Sears stores to be closed will provoke more predictable right wing economic analyses centering on the failure of Sears management to respond to changing economic conditions.
Management will be blamed for failing to recognize the new reality of WalMart and online shopping.
What the right wing analysts will NOT say, however, is how the changed economic landscape has been deliberately changed to cater to Libertarian rich people who are motivated by greed.
How did the landscape change?
As a start:
38 years of attacks on unions,
38 years of right wing economic warfare on working families,
38 years of gross under-taxation of the rich,
38 years of replacing productive investment with financial speculation,
38 years of companies moving work to follow the lowest wages,
and all of this combined has transformed a US filled with living wage unionized jobs into a plantation economy where low wage and multiple part time jobs are the new norm.
Sears is a symptom of how the 1%, conducting economic warfare on the working class, has transformed this country.
