    I really don’t think they’re talking about essentials.

    OP: Today is buy nothing day

    If anything, the classism that happens is the manipulation of folks who think they’ll get a TV on sale when it’s usually too low on stock and it’s only used as a lure to get folks in the door.

    Fighting classism with classism is just more classism.

      The Rich: “Hey, we’re massively discounting our products today!”

      You Apparently: “We’re not going to buy them at their low prices! We’ll wait until they put them back to normal.”

      I’ll be the one to ask then. What is this accomplishing? Short term we don’t get the discounts and long term they just recoup the profits in the coming days. If you have poor impulse control, yes, stay home but otherwise I’m just lost.
