Black Friday hits a record $74.4B in sales online, up 5% on last year

And zero dollars of that came from me! Suck it pigs, I ain't playing into your bullshit.

I didn't buy anything 😁 fuck consumerism

It starts earlier and shit costs more.

But the media told me Kamala lost the election because the economy is bad. Hmmm. Maybe that wasn’t really the reason.

For perspective, Musk's net worth increased by $70B since the election.

"Black Friday" is like two years long now though?

More people shop online, news at 10.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are literally the only days of the year that I might be able to afford to shop for things I want. I saved over $600 this year.

When you unilaterally raise prices on everything, the dollar amount spent is going to go up. This is a testament to how much we are getting fucked. Not proof that working families aren’t suffering.

Don’t let it fool you that people aren’t suffering. A lot of people are socially compelled into buying gifts for Xmas and whatnot, even when they can barely afford it. Also, price of just about everything went up so naturally the amount we spend does too.
