Small Business Saturday
The Saturday after Black Friday. This is the day when business' realize that they are screwed and start thinking about Chapter 13. They tried opening on Thanksgiving offering ridiculous discounts only to find out that it is costing them more in protests, petitions, and lawsuits then the profits they made for the day. Black Friday wasn't any better as most of the shoppers that came in were just looking at the items that they wanted to buy online cheaper then any Black Friday deal would have got them.
If you support a business at all, you support it enough, you don't have to spend money at a small businessonce a week to prove that you're a good enough citizen to some entity that doesn't really give a fuck about you, the business, or whether you're a good enough citizen (the same entity that created Small Business Saturday).
Having a small business saturday is like having a gym saturday. It's your body, it's your business what you do with your body, how you treat it, and so on, but pretending that you are dedicated to something like that because everybody's doing it is pretentious, fair-weather bullshit. Some of us have treated our bodies like amusement parks before, and still don't call ourselves or other things something they're not. Call it what it really is.
