Black Friday Death Count 2019

I love that people put themselves and others at risk over completely disposable products and “door busters” that will be marked down to clearance prices after the holidays.

 

That one video is people fighting over Serta pillows. Come on, the true value of that is like $1.

No less crazy than talking politics at Thanksgiving

Yeah... Uhhh, no.  Our founders wanted that dialog as long as nobody is stabbing the obnoxious sister in law with the butter knife. Somewhere Ben Franklin is smiling as long as the political discourse is taken up with a modicum of decorum.  That's how it is suppose to work: open dialog over less important things.  Consumer products are fleeting.

Climate protesters block stores, disrupt Black Friday shopping

By Sam Dorman | Fox News

Protesters around the world disrupted Black Friday shopping in order to draw attention to climate change days before the United Nations met to discuss the issue in Madrid.

The retail holiday saw protests in a long list of countries -- including France, Germany, the United States -- with some activists entering stores and others holding mock funerals. Near Paris, climate demonstrators blocked a shopping mall and gathered in from of Amazon’s headquarters to protest over-production they say is killing the planet.

To many activists, Black Friday is the epitome of this shift, a purely commercial event designed to boost U.S. retailers ahead of the Christmas holidays, the symbol of capitalism run amok.

"We are living in a system of endless consumerism," the group Extinction Rebellion NYC tweeted on Friday. "Earth cannot sustain that, especially as we accelerate towards climate and ecological catastrophe."

You couldn't pay me to go out today.


had to do it one year, found a spot to park and walked the half hour to the store, put on blinders and went only for the purchase and walked back and never again
