run like it was meant to lose money

Sadly, that's why they're entering bankruptcy. The current CEO has little to no interest in keeping Sears alive, but they make a decent piggy bank.

Ouch. That Sears is what I remember K-mart looking like in the 80’s. If that’s what most Sears have been like lately, then I’m not surprised they went under.
