The US needs Black Friday deals on groceries instead of games and big TVs.

Sadly, even if they made groceries super cheap for one weekend, it still wouldn't fix the underlying issue of your money being worth jack now due to unchecked inflation. I don't want to make this political, but inflation benefits people at the top, while hurting practically everyone else. Unless something is done about that, which there won't be, inflation is just going to get worse and worse. Our politicians, nearly all of them, will never bite the hand that feeds them.

Oh, of course. I was just being a bit silly. Black Friday is usually associated with overconsumption of stuff that isn't necessary.

Without making this too political subreddit level. I will say I wholeheartedly agree.  This year has been rocky to say the least. The 99 percent bleeds so the 1 percent can live in excess. What hurts the Bee benefits the badger.  The bee sees its home and lifes work breaking away. The badger sees free honey. I dont see an end in sight. Only varying degrees of bad.

Surprisingly though.  TVs went from something people would save for months to buy. A big family decision with the wife. Now its something college kids abandon in their dorms. As a gift I got a 55 inch 4k tv for 115 dollars.  Crazy how that industry has evolved to be cheaper somehow.  Really nice set too.


With that said... I do wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and gaming holiday    Whatever that looks like to you all!

It seems that way but this isn't the case. It doesn't actually benefit anyone. Inflationary periods always lead to consoliation at the top, yes, but this also happens in the other levels as well. It just appears that way because numbers go up and we are lead to believe that big number > small number.
