Try for the whole WEEKEND…but at least pull those purse-strings tight and shut those wallets for ONE DAY. In a traditionally explosive economic window (US Thanksgiving), such an act can send out some serious waves – a statement that can truly be FELT if enough of us take part.
I haven’t bought a single thing all week.
The money stays under the mattress…!
As long as vodka and 25 cent crack whores don’t count neither have I.
I NEVER go shopping on Black Friday….or for Christmas presents for that matter. ‘Cause…I DON’T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS! The only thing I have bought this week is gas for the road trip, munchies for the road trip….and an alternator for the vehicle we took ON THE ROAD TRIP!
Hey, not a problem… I’m broke. I’m a single lower middle class, hard working American. I don’t actually make any money.
Amen to all of the above, am totally cash free, and am not a resident in north america. Should I feel cheated??? Might be able to pony up for a crack whore though….
It’s all about Boxing Day, baby.
Wait, crackwhores count?
why have you forsaken me raptor jesus
Didn’t but anything this weekend. Well, I bought stuff for myself earlier in the week. And I had to eat some food today. Christmas season always upsets me. People get so materialistic and they seem so unappreciative. I did gift wrapping today voluntarily. Everyone who stopped by today was so impatient that I just wanted to punch them in the face. I hate this season so much. I end up spending so much money on just myself, but I don’t feel as bad getting some little gifts for people (more so if I know it’s something practical they would use).
“it’s profoundly immoral and dangerous to be rich in a world that is poor!” so said Adam von Trott zu Solz, a rhodes scholar and great great grandson of one of the founding fathers shortly before his execution for his part in the july plot to assassinate Hitler. The old communist song the Internationale has a line;”freedom is privilege extended unless it applies to one and all”. Yeah, I know the commies made an unbelievably catastrophic apocalypse of things(Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot etc.) But we’ve got to do something!
