I think it's weird how the United States embarks on an annual glut of consumerism on the day after Thanksgiving, a holiday that celebrates a group of people living under the most primitive possible conditions, existing on the bleeding edge of Malthusian survival while trying to establish an unlikely colony thousands of miles away from anybody else from their native country. It's even weirder how that "Black Friday" spending spree has spawned at least two other finance-related holidays -- "Cyber Monday", where one basically pays one's Amazon.com tax for the year, and "Giving Tuesday", where, if you have any money left, you should consider donating some of it to a worthy charity.
