Today is Black Friday, though that is really only a partially true statement. As I type this, it is Tuesday, and depending on how this blog performs it is possible a majority of readers will not read this on Black Friday. But this goes LIVE on Black Friday, the day of unfettered consumption, the personification of Western capitalism. Though, that too is only a partially true statement, as in recent years the internet has allowed Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and its surrounding days to coalesce into a weeklong blob of sales.
Perhaps I’m overthinking this. I am sure burying the lede, which is this: Black Friday is a time for buying.
