I received about 100 emails for Black Friday deals. I boycott yearly into the next week so no 60 inch tv for me. It’s really not worth it to leave the house for any reason, so I don’t. I read in bed, napped, cleaned up... that’s it. Somewhere, someone was indeed experiencing this exact scenario, I’m sure. If you can imagine it, it’s happening or has happened.
It’s really about rebuking a day which is the height of over-the-top consumerism for its own sake. It’s not to say we can’t have frivolous wants, but the country goes absolutely mad every year over buying what they don’t need which hurts the employees required to work and produces an immense amount of waste. I refuse to partake in all this spending and choose to spend nothing (other than groceries if needed) for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

I got sucked into buying a flight but I guess there are worse things to splurge on.
Agreed. I need to catch a flight myself.
Why do you boycott? I see so many people out shopping every year and it’s pretty rare to see someone boycott, at least around here.

Great skit, you included my name!
2023 America, in one act...
Hilarious but perhaps close to truth you might be. I never do those black friday things. Bc it might be just as you describe w/entitled wing nuts.
