Consumers Spend $54.2B on Black Friday →
Growing up virtually impoverished gave me a lot of life lessons that maybe others didn’t get to “enjoy”, so I always do try and stray away from judging the shit out of people. However, Black Friday and the holidays in general kind of make me want to throw my hands up and quit.

And furthermore, what in the FUCK type...
