Blackest Fragile Friday

Black Friday, iconic of Climate Fragility, is designed to transition retail from red to black end of year balance sheets. Black Friday is black good wealthy robust from a competitive corporate perspective. What feels too seldom noticed, This capital-acquisition game is played with ZeroSum win/lose assumptions: Retail corporations are more likely to go richly black as consumer households, especially marginally surviving households, urban apartheid neighborhoods, rural failing family farms, reach into shallowing pockets to risk red indebted shortfall, unhoused lack of holds. To align our ecopolitical color scheme, black incorporated economic privilege is fed by red consumer fragility as white political privilege feeds on black and brown and cooperative rainbow fragility. One of the ways we can remember this color scheme, no paranoid pun intended, is through a song, Red and yellow, black and white, these are diversely precious in His Straight White corporate sight ReIncarnated Capital-Infested God loves all consumers of the ZeroSum WinLose global market world. This version suffers from unlyrical challenges, yet it still has a Black Friday ring to cash re-registering around us. The title of this song escapes me. Was it He's Got the Whole World in His Corporation or Shop Til We Drop? The voracious squirrels must think we're nuts, especially on Black Friday.

Fortunately for me Black Friday holds no attraction at all. It's mind-blowing the sums of money that are spent. I think the squirrels are on the money.
