You know what’s been great about all the entertainment companies boycotts? That it helped us realize we don’t really need them at all.

Everything is online for free already.

This is how the era will be defined in history books, “It was fucking stupid.”

Do you think they occasionally drug him to shut him up? I mean the guy doesn’t know why he gets MRIs, it can’t be that hard to slip him a pill he doesn’t notice.

Things are around 3% more expensive nationwide this year - labor statistics - 3.5% in NYC! -.- People are paying more, so they’re spending more.

ChatGPT breaks it down like this.
📉 The raw numbers • According to Adobe Analytics, U.S. online spending on Black Friday 2025 hit US $11.8 billion, up 9.1% from 2024.  • Taking all retail (online + in-store, excluding autos), Mastercard SpendingPulse reports a 4.1% increase in Black Friday 2025 sales compared to 2024.  But — that’s nominal growth. ⸻ 🪙 Adjusting for inflation • According to the most recent data from Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), overall U.S. inflation (CPI) was ≈ 3.0% year-over-year for the 12 months through September 2025.  • That means if nominal Black Friday sales rose 4.1%, after adjusting for a 3.0% inflation rate, the real growth (i.e. volume / quantity of goods — roughly estimating) is only about 1.0%. • For online sales (nominal +9.1%): after inflation, real growth is roughly 6.0%. ⸻ 🎯 Interpretation — are Americans really buying more? • Yes — but modestly. For overall Black Friday retail (online + in-store), inflation-adjusted growth is small: about +1%. That suggests Americans bought just slightly more — or roughly the same amount — but paid more because of higher prices. • Online shopping seems stronger. The +6 % real growth online suggests a real increase in online purchases (or at least more higher-priced items), beyond just inflation. • But gain is not huge. A +6 % real increase in online shopping isn’t a “boom.” Coupled with small growth overall, it reflects cautious spending: inflation compresses budgets, so many households may still buy less or cheaper items. ⸻ ✅ What this tells us (and what it doesn’t) • Real spending growth on Black Friday (after inflation) is modest. The extra money spent largely reflects higher prices, not a massive surge in buying volume or consumer enthusiasm. • The increase in online shopping suggests shoppers are shifting habits toward e-commerce — maybe for convenience, better deals, or avoiding crowds — which might persist beyond the holidays. • But headline growth masks inequality: households with more dispos…

How much of that increase was due to price increases due to #TrumpTariffs and #Inflation?
