I never shopped on Black Friday
And less people seem to;
American Stores Are Far From Overwhelmed as Black Friday Sales Begin
.
And this;
Black Friday violence: Shootings at Nevada Walmart, New Jersey Macy’s, Tennessee mall kill 2, injure 2
The political revolution continues
evening shockwave...
that black friday shopping is on the wane is great news. one can only hope that the orgy of consumerism that characterizes the holidays of "peace on earth, goodwill towards men" continues to diminish in favor of a different cultural expression.
Good evening
joe and Bluesters.
Hope all is well on this post-Thanksgiving day.
evening olinda...
heh, good one!
OMG, back to calm mommy mode on FB
Here is what I wrote after reading many freak-outs about the Latest (whatever that may be). I have a few Likes for this:
I am attempting to make others look forward, as to what they want and desire 50 years from now. That seems to me the way to begin organizing.

evening riverlover...
that looks like a good start. it would be great if the people who are suddenly waking up to find out that things around them are unacceptable would also waken to the fact that they could change it if everybody works together.
Mike Flynn profile in The New Yorker, wow!
This man should be in rehab not given an important position, National Security Advisor in the Federal government.

evening marilyn...

Ten star collection.

evening alex...
thanks! glad you enjoyed it. i had a good time putting it together.
I did my job of not buying anything today
I wish there was a way for people protesting DAPL, the illegal wars, spying and everything else that our government is doing against our wishes to understand that if people go a week or longer without buying anything but essential items then maybe if the company's profits take a big enough hit they'd get the message that we are fed up and that we do have some power left to us.
It's proven that they don't give a shit about what we want or don't want, but somehow we have to make them stop screwing us over and keep making their friends happy.
There has to be some way to get them to work for us instead of against us, doesn't there? Or is this just a dream of mine?
The Washington Generals should probably sue the Democrats for copyright infringement.
evening snoopy...
a consumer strike is something that i've always wanted to see tried. it would certainly be hard to get full participation, but even significant participation would certainly get some attention.
Addition to the Playlist: A little off-color
evening karl...

Enormously valuable link
Frighteningly valuable.
Best thanks.
Waaaaaay late to the Party,
but wanted to wish Everyone a nice and safe holiday weekend.
Earlier today, when I reread my so-called Medicare comment (from last evening), I realized that it basically amounted to word salad. Sorry--I'll try to rectify it next week.
Thanks for the tunes, Joe. Look forward to listening to them (tomorrow), as I go through more agonizing hours of pouring over Plan D drug formularies. Words cannot express how happy I'll be to have this onerous chore completed.
Whew!

Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.
I am highly interested in your Medicare research
I am 1.5 years away. I am currently one of the luckies with NY state-subsided insurance, as a former employee. I am paying as a single, under $100/month. New rates for 2017 just came out and the increase is a few dollars/month. So I am spoiled, and expect/fear that I will pay more to be in the same pool with my 96 y/o mother, recently Dx'ed with Lewy Body dementia. Also she is in end-stage renal failure. What a drag it it getting old.

Did Zalman Shapiro divert tons of U.S. nuclear fuel to Israel?
