I NEED NOTHING. [View all]

buy nothing black friday

this year on black friday:

$60 billion will be spent on meaningless holiday gifts. that's up from $52 billion last year. that amount of money could feed all of the hungry children in the world for 2 years! that's 190,000 children.

160 million people plan to shop. that's half of the u.s. population, and greater than the 121 million u.s. citizens that voted.
