dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

One of the biggest examples was Sears under Eddie Lampert whose internally-competitive business units, among a couple other factors, basically destroyed the company.

Someone else mentioned it in this thread, but they cover it in the book "People's Republic of Walmart" but I suppose you could find books or articles about the Sears example specifically. I'm not really aware of any other big corporate names trying it.
