This Black Friday could be the best one yet for many Americans, as Occupy protesters have announced that they won’t be buying anything at all from the country’s major retailers. What this means is that there will be more great deals left for the heathens who aren’t part of the Occupy movement, which is pretty f**ing amazing when you’re part of the 1% and need all the deals you can get.
Black Friday, otherwise known as the day after Thanksgiving, serves as the unofficial start of the November-December holiday shopping corridor, one of the busiest times of year for retailers. About 152 million people are expected to shop this Friday, in what has become an annual tradition of shoppers mobbing stores in the hopes of getting limited-time deals.
This November, a number of Occupy Wall Street groups have publicized plans to oppose Black Friday in one form or another.
This might be the first (and only) positive change brought about by the Occupy movement. These protesters are willingly giving up on their chance to score great deals, thus helping their fellow citizens have access to more goodies. Heartwarming, really.
