Tomorrow is Black Friday, when the masses become mindless and go into a mindless spending frenzy buying items to celebrate the birth of a dark skinned Middle Eastern Jew born sometime around 6 BCE. Yeshua, also known as Jesus, was not a white skinned European. Time for a reality check people.
And it is called Black Friday because it is when stores actually turn a profit. This bat crap crazy spending spree is what brings corporations into profitability. And workers will be up early manning (and womaning and whatever other derivatives you can come up with) the cash registers to collect the money and crexit cards.
Why are people buying like crazy? It's Christmas (or whatever you call it) and you are supoosed to buy gifts, blah blah blah. Capitalist programming.
Reason number two: Look at the prices. They are reduced, in some cases as much as 70%. And the stores make money selling the overproduction at a "loss."
Or are the prices too high the previous 11 months of the year?
What if these so called sale prices are the actual prices that the items could be sold at? What if we are being ripped off all the other months of the year?
WTF.
Second thouht on this time of the year: It is time for the working class to seize its power and not buy anything. It is time for the working class to become "fiscally conservative" and say, if we can' t pay cash and have no debt, we can' t afford it. Sorry, we have too much credit card debt and need to practice Dave Ramsey personal economics and get down to only one credit card that is paid off in full every month and whatever else he speaks about.
Yes, it is time for the working class to become fiscally responsible and say what the power elite has been saying to them all these years right back at the power elite. Let's play their game.
And we can watch the 1% sustain the economy. They will of course go around and spend all that mo ey that they are sitting on a d sustain the economy.
In a pig's eye. Apologies to the pig.
We, the working class have the power to bring down the system.
All we have to do is flex our muscles.
What can they do? Cancel Christmas?
That'll go over well with a certain vocal group of people.
And they aren't big enough or rich enough to sustain the system on their own either.
We are.
