I'm glad none of the sears by me are closing. Kmart I couldn't care less a about.
I was at a Home Depot returning something that I received as a gift that I already had and was looking at the Husky Tools. Everyone of them is made in China. Now I'm sure they are fine tools and I know it's hard these days not to get something Made in China, but Craftsman handtools are made in the USA. Supporting US jobs and they have always served me well. It kind of bothered me that EVERY tool they sold was from China. Maybe it's just me.  |
Just a little inside information. Sears ended up replacing almost all of the IT support staff in the US with an outsourced firm in India. Apparently there was a lot of money saved in doing this. Not saying that is wrong or right, just saying even Sears outsources US jobs.

Probably, but then again is that stock even worth anything at all now?
