Walmart passes Kmart in sales in 1990 and never looks back.
Kmart’s stores keep getting worse while the competition keeps getting better.
2002: Kmart files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The largest retailer to ever go bankrupt.
They merge with Sears in 2005, hoping two struggling giants can save each other.
They can’t.
Sears Holdings files for bankruptcy in 2018.
From 2,486 stores at its peak to just 3 locations remaining today.
Meanwhile, Walmart owns discount retail completely.
Sam Walton opened his first store in 1962.
The same year Kmart opened.
But Walton never bought bookstores or sporting goods chains or office supply companies.
He did one thing.
He built the most efficient supply chain in retail history and delivered the lowest prices to customers every single day.
Over 10,800 stores worldwide.
$681 billion in revenue.
2.1 million employees.
The largest company on Earth by revenue.
Same year.
Same industry.
Opposite strategies.
Opposite outcomes.
Your biggest threat is not your competition.
It is the moment you stop investing in what made you successful and start chasing things that sound exciting.
Your customers fell in love with your core product.
They did not ask you to become five different companies.
Stop thinking growth means acquiring more.
Start thinking growth means becoming the best at what you already do.
The businesses that last are the ones that go deeper, not wider.
Because when you try to own everything, you end up losing the one thing that mattered.
Think Big.

DOJ Rapid Response @DOJRR47 - As Congress knows, the Justice Department is not “hiding” anything. We have released more than 3 million documents. Any time a redaction error is flagged, we review and RE-PUBLISH that document. This is untruthful and lazy, and this as the basis for a subpoena, is laughable.
Further, as we explained to CBS, WSJ and many reporters, images from a batch in data set 9 were temporarily pulled down for review due to some flagged for nudity and republished on a rolling basis, including 25,000 yesterday. All will be back in the library by end of day.

Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace
BREAKING: Our motions to subpoena the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights AND AG Pam Bondi have BOTH PASSED the Oversight Committee.
The Office of Congressional Workplace Rights will release every taxpayer-funded settlement for congressional misconduct. Every Member who used your money to silence victims gets exposed.
AG Bondi will testify about missing Epstein evidence. The videos, the audio, the documents the DOJ is hiding.
The American people deserve transparency. Survivors deserve justice. We're delivering both. Accountability is coming.

DOQ @doqholliday - The little "not of this world" gig is up. Time to face reality.
Q has nothing to do with Pleadians.
Donald Trump has nothing to do with Pleadians.
Goodbye Rockefeller cult.
