That’s easy.

First, the ginned up outrage that is the point of the articl is a creation of the anti capitalism left in the first place. Ginned up outrage is key component of the left’s battle strategy, and you fell for it.

Second, to blame businesses, who are merely reacting to the culture, not creating the culture, is absurd and again, something that is always done by the left. It is always America’s fault. It is alway the fault of the profit motive, etc.....

Third, the whole underlying premise is that productivity and profit are anti-family is just more communist witchcraft thinking. If a guy needs to work Thanksgiving to help support his family, then who the hell are you to say that shopping on Thanksgiving is anti family. If a small business needs those sales to stay in business, who the hell are you to criticize?

FTR, I have never shopped on Thanksgiving, the day after Thanksgiving, or the day after Christmas in my entire life - and I don’t intend to ever do so. I hate that it’s come to this, but to join this obviously leftist movement in some sort of pharisaical self righteous pro family flapdoodle is to be a tool of the left.

And clearly, you don’t realize it......(yet)

Fail. I wasn’t even responding to the article or accepting any of its premises. I was being nostalgic. That’s it. Sheesh. Epic fail. Try again.
