Shopping on Thanksgiving Rant

Agreed.

I rarely leave the property unless I am off to workk. I am finally living rural after 20 years in big cities and I have seen the ways of buying crap as a hobby. The mad rush to buy crap is totally f-n dumb. I subscribe to 0 portion of the "have to have" mentality.

People trampling each other to save a few bucks on something that will fail in 5 years makes zero sense.

As for the employment aspect and the "other way around", at least this idiotic stampede provides jobs to folks. When I was young, I woudl easily work any holiday just to make extra bucks.
