Consumerism at its worst

Why do american go nuts over Black Friday and every year people die. What to save a couple of bucks on stuff you will not need a year from now

A Wal-Mart employee in New York state's Long Island died on Friday when a throng of shoppers surged into the store and physically broke down the doors, a police spokesman said.

The 34-year-old man was at the entrance of the Valley Stream Walmart store when it opened at 5 a.m. local time and was knocked to the ground, the police report said.

It is wise and important to spend no unnecessary money -
the imbalance created by unconscious consumerism must end...
