Depressing.
I'm especially angry about this "Black Friday" thing.
In California, I've been seeing a tv ad: it's by a store called Big Lots, and the ad boasts their "Black Friday" happening on Thursday at SEVEN AM!
They have supposed workers happily dancing and singing a song celebrating that they get to work at 7am on Thanksgiving.

This is what the 1% want: the lower classes having nothing. Do you think these CEO's and owners are going to be spending their Thanksgiving Day mornings and evenings at the store?
