Wal*Mart and others like it are starting their "Black Friday" on Thanksgiving Day. It's bad enough that people from the service sector have trouble getting their schedules to line up for quality time together with their families, and now they're either forced to work or lured into shopping instead of finally enjoying some time home together. It's truly disgusting. It's a way to reduce Black Friday competition while ensuring the "big deals" are available when more people are off work. You know what? There are more fucking important things in life than massive corporate profits. The sad thing is that I fear that these words will likely fall mostly on deaf ears. If for some lucky reason, you agree, please fight this by not spending a penny at these places, especially on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, and save some money for something more important, like a bite to eat and a sip to drink with family and friends.
