The Friday after Thanksgiving or ”Black Friday“ is reserved by global corporations for whipping Americans into a frenzy of over-consumption. Millions camp out and line up for hours hoping for bargains. Most end up buying things they don’t need at prices they can’t afford.

A holiday poem from Williams S. Burroughs: “Thanks for the wild turkey and the passenger pigeons …”
