My favorite Black Friday post was something to the effect of "I stayed home and saved the most money". Capitalism is all about consumption. Since we are now unabashedly governed by those who hold capital as the highest principle above democracy and freedom and social justice, they should just pull the curtain aside and drop the pretense. Capitalism (I.E. Black Friday) thrives on Chinese manufacturing. BTW "Century of Self" explainz this well, if you don't need they have to create it.
If the annoying Orange wanted to jump start manufacturing he would require that Black Friday only feature American manufactured goods. I can hear the teeth gnashing sounding like crickets now. Where are the 4th quarter profits that don't translate into jobs in that? We got rid of the unions so we'll all be working on the friday after Thanksgiving soon anyway. Successful people work day and night in the pursuit of profit anyway. Don't you know that ?
