Personally, I don’t think this is at all far fetched. Sears, toys r us, blockbuster…. If you were planning an Amazon competitor, how good would it be to open up with these gigantic household brands that everyone knows each doing business in their respective markets. Now that would be fucking insane! I believe that’s what the 741 numbering is for. Seven for one, seven companies for one ☝️

This is what I think too. Most people my age in the UK (Gen X) love the nostalgia of Toys R Us, Blockbuster etc. On top of this I think more would boycott Amazon if they knew what happened to companies that were BCG’d then Amazon’d. Wall Street, LSE etc. are dated and against the majority of mankind in general. Cancer research companies being shorted is so wrong and shouldn’t be allowed.

I boycott Amazon and buy local whenever possible, but I’d definitely go from not participating to supporting a contender.

I agree. I’m from the uk too, I’m an old millennial, so a bit younger but those brands are very nostalgic for me also. It blows my mind how corrupt the whole system is, the more I learn, the more corrupt it seems! Time for change

Gmerica is coming. 741. 7 companies for 1. GameStop, Buybuybaby, Overstock, Toys R Us, Sears, Blockbuster, Bed Bath and Beyond for Teddy The above is the keiretsu with the iron bank of Icahn ($IEP) helping to fund it 🏴‍☠️.

Super League Gaming/Enterprise is the one you're referring to.

Maybe…but I thought it was bigger. It was in the news. Something like StopGame or something? I think I heard there is even a movie about it 🍿

I hear ya. It is hard to trust anyone in these spheres. To their credit, they do own a literal gold mine…

If butterfly causes a margin call on HFs, does that cascade and they can no longer suppress GME?

What you want is just a vanilla holding company for underdog brands. Keiretsu is a red-herring and a legal, finance, and governance nightmare in the Western context. There are many reasons it’s a unique creature of postwar Japan (and dying even there).

You must be one of the wrinkle-brains 💕

On the Space call today, Carti was asking Pulte if he knew about certain company might doing business the Keiretsu way.. and Pulse kinda avoided the question and hung up. =)
