Hell Is a Black Friday

A Friday from hell I was writing about consumerism. What is the point when people get up at five in the morning? buying tumble driers that use plenty of electricity in a country where the sun shines nearly every day. A new computer when they can upgrade the old one is such a waste of money. I`m missing the point people like buying shiny objects like crows drown to the sparkly buying new yes, the newness is the future. When most of the products are made elsewhere it does little to stem the mass- unemployment in this country. The earth minerals to satisfy the useless. I hear you laugh derisively; he knows nothing. So, you can have your black Friday, and black it is when loans are served at the end of the month. The people are fooled and seduced by capitalism, therefore, banning credit cards, when paying cash, one is more careful.
