How to recognize dying industries

The Four of Us Are Dying

I was driving with a friend and I noticed a TV companies van. What really struck me was below the logo and slogan were the words in heavy bold type “We are not hiring.” I didn’t realize they got asked the question so much they needed to put it on their vehicle.

I immediately thought of that old german proverb. “Who is not busy growing is busy dying.” I wonder if stores like Best Buy will have that on their windows now. I used to see that when I shopped at Kmart/Sears in the past. Whats wrong with retail? Can’t they see the writing on the wall? If they don’t offer service, they have no chance to compete on price.
