Black Friday is coming up, so I propose that we have a nationwide boycott. We have a golden opportunity to hit the big corporations where it hurts.

As an annual Black Friday shopper: go for it. Black Friday sales are no where near as good as they were in years in prior. More people have been going out these past few years thinking they're getting an awesome deal but the savings are really marginal now because companies caught on.

Buy American made, scorn Chinese junk as much as possible. That too damages their bottom line when the Chinese junk won't move.
That wouldn't be a popular idea; people like their holidays and getting good deals on holiday needs.
Also, hasn't Black Friday become sort of irrelevant now anyway? It seems to me many people have realized that there's no reason to sleep outside Macy's all night when you can get the same or better deals online any time.
I agree. People would just buy all the same shit on Saturday, the sales go all weekend anyways.
