Childish website. Flack Friday is crucial for retail, economic growth and beneficial for the consumers as with larger movement of goods, margins are dropping. As a matter of fact it also carriers a sentimental vibe with a hint of a tradition.

I only see some straw man anti-arguments that don't really explain why black Friday or consumer driven economies are bad (hint: they are not)

EDIT: looks like I overreacted by taking the OPs intent seriously. It turns out to be just a landing page for referrals? Oh the irony.

Yep. Let’s consume consume and endlessly consume and Trash the planet.

US is already the largest producer of greenhouse emissions considering its population. We also consume a crazy amount of energy per capita and not much of our garbage gets recycled.

Sure mindless consumption might be good for GDP but it isn’t great for the planet.
