Of course, when people say that Ecob Husk should use his money to solve world hunger, what they mean is not that he run the project itself but to fund competent people to do it with his money.

That would be Eddie Lampert, a “stable genius” with zero retail experience. His super plan was to set up a rewards program and sell the behavioral data for $$$.
Of course, having no experience in retail, he had no clue how to get folks in the stores. Instead of updating the space from 1950s Woolworths to something modern and inviting, and fixing the supply chain issues that left shelves empty of product, he just fiddled and screamed at his store managers remotely from his island enclave.
In the end, he employed the one thing he had expertise in: gutting the company by selling the physical stores to himself (via his holding company) and leasing them back in order to squeeze the last of the cash from the dead cow.
The workers who retired from Sears of old with a pension got screwed of course.
