Good luck to any comrades that have to work during that weekend, or have to fly because of social obligations. The case and death rates in the next three weeks are going to be horrific.

    Conservatives have already made Thanksgiving their new culture war thing. "Don't let them cancel Thanksgiving for you!" they scream this after 250k have died. At this point, they are outright calling for genocide.

    Black Friday will be right after Thanksgiving, the favorite capitalist holiday where people go nuts to get discount prices on what is usually overpriced shit to begin with. I'm so glad I don't work at Walmart anymore. Black Friday was a nightmare.

        Black Friday crowds have been declining for years because the deals are completely trash, and online can do it better anyway. Hopefully lockdown fatigue and psychotic nostalgia doesn't reverse that trend.

          This really depends on the area. The crowds were still pretty high last time I worked a black friday back in 2018.

      I'm legit worried because my work has been making everyone go back in, and I need this job but I can get to it without going on the train. Your girl's getting lung damage at some point in this, I've just come to terms with it.
