Nowadays, we have Black Friday sales in the UK although we don't have an official Thanksgiving Day, nor do we celebrate Thanksgiving. Crazy marketing. 🙄
Anyway...

Black Friday is nearly upon us which means bargains galore, right? Er, no. Analysis by the consumer group Which? has revealed that most deals offered on Black Friday are bogus.

Which? analysed 200 Black Friday offers last year at seven major retailers, including Amazon, Argos, Currys and John Lewis. It looked at their prices every day for a year and found that 98 per cent were cheaper or the same price at other times compared to Black Friday.

Nevertheless, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are among the busiest retail days of the year. Footage is rife of people scrapping over (supposedly) discounted flatscreens on shop floors. If it all makes you feel a little queasy, here are seven things you can do in quiet protest.

Supposedly Thanksgiving is a holiday because our indigenous peoples saved the Euro illegal immigrants from starving to death with a plethora of New World foods. Now it is an American tradition of traveling to visit people we don't really like. Then too, the indigenous lost 90+% of their relatives to disease introduced by the Euro trash, religious extremists, criminals, seeking to escape oppression in Europe. People are still attempting to escape with their lives to our borders, tho not so welcome anymore.
All 7 I practice. I hope more will. The season of giving has become a season of Made in China.
