When does the "Holiday" season begin these days? Not the sales days, gee, those start before Thanksgiving now a days. But why?
I want to congratulate the few hundred people who worked for Wal-Mart and stood up to them. There is absolutely no reason for holiday sales to begin on Thanksgiving day. That day is a holiday meant to reflex on what good we have in our life, both past and present. Not to freak out over trying to save money on a certain item on a certain day.
We are the consumers, and that means we control what we want to buy, and for how much. Yet, we seemed to have forgotten that years ago. We have allowed the usual Big Business to tell us when to go to the store and 'save big'. Really? Why have we given up our rights to Big Business? Never mind, it's the same mentality as I have been preaching on here since I started this blog. Americans have become sheep!
We let others tell us what to pay and when to pay for it. Not the other way around. The consumer sets the value of a product, yet we gave that up. The consumer tells businesses if they like something or not, yet we gave that up. Consumers can say, "We will not shop on this or that day," yet we gave that up too. Yes, like everything else, we Americans continue to give things up. We might as well crawl into a hole and die. Heck, since I said it, be good sheep and do it!
Ops, sorry, I forgot, I'm not Big Business, only they can tell you to do that. In fact, they have been saying that for years. We just don't realise it, because we are too busy stuffing our faces with food full of chemicals that cause cancer. Or we drive vehicles that cause cancer. Or even better yet, we pay millions of dollars to watch a sport that promotes physical harm. Oh, we give up control on so much....baaa, baaa, baaa
