Though less critical to our lives, PE has ruined loads of retail and restaurant options as well - Sears, Toy ‘R’ Us, Red Lobster, and Shari’s come to mind.

many of those deserved to die.

sears had a ceo who was obsessed with competition and pitted his units against each other. they could have created an online portal and then crushed amazon in the crib -- but didn't.

toys r us had a cto who pushed for internet stuff... and said no.

Sears was around long before the bad CEO was even born. Saying it "deserved to die" isn't fair to history.
