Black Friday will test the strength of the 99%. The proof of the pudding is not in the talk but in the action. Where will the 99% be on Black Friday? They will be stomping the Walmart doorman to his death as they scurry for the very things that sustain their disdain.
I'm not going to Wal-Mart, thanks for askin'.
A sad comment on our society. Depending on what trash they throw on sale, you may see more people camped out in front of Walmart and Target then you will find at al the occupy locations.
Not even close. There will be way more people at Target and Walmart.
I believe you're right.
I resist black friday every year. Always thought is was the stupidest thing in the world. If I am lucky enough to have the day after Thanksgiving off work, I spend the day sleeping. This year, I will be Occupying.
How much poorer can you get before you line up for hours to save a few dollar on shopping a Walmart dress, so your child will not be humiliated in the school yard? It is a question of survival with a residual dignity.
Excellent post: RESIST Black Friday!
If they can RESIST!...We can RESIST!!!
DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?:
We have identified the source of our collective suffering --CORPORATE INFLUENCE IN POLITICS AND CORPORATE GREED.
We have acknowledged that CORPORATIONS are responsible for the Economic Crisis that has caused millions to lose their jobs, houses, financial savings and pensions.---some have even become homeless.
There are students that have to drop out of school because of cut-backs to education --as a result of this CORPORATE GREED that throw all of our World Governments into Financial turmoil....
now they want us to go to these corporations and buy from them so that they can make more money from the 99%.
HAVE THEY LOST THEIR DAMN MINDS??????
Let me rephrase that---ANYONE WHO BUYS ON "BLACK FRIDAY"---HAS LOST ---THEIR--THEIR ---THEIR ---DAMN MINDS!!!!!
Imagine this scenario.
It's Friday.
And all the Saleswomen and Salesmen are running around in their boutiques getting the store ready for the big day --as they check their watches and dust, and count the cash.
Then it's 9am and they rush to the door to open.
And there is not even one American outside.
They think "...well it's still early...I am sure things will be different in an hour or so"
DO NOT GIVE THEM ---ONE ---RED ---CENT.
Occupy Canada --salutes you!!!

People I didn't even expect to say they are boycotting Black Friday are planning to.
Yeah, those stores are going to be empty. Another unstated goal, no central message win for OWS! (sarcasm for those who don't recognize it)
Do you people realize how many middle class families wait all year for Black Friday to get a new tv for the family room because they can't afford it otherwise?
What about waiting for year-end markdowns?
Too unreliable. I worked at WalMart in high school, pretty often they really nailed the amount of something to bring in and did not have to mark stuff down.
Seriously, life without a new TV is just wage slavery.
If they can RESIST!...We can RESIST!!!

Black Friday, Armaggeddon for OWS !
You know they will. Analysts are predicting flat sales. OWS has no buying power.
