Black Friday should be outlawed in my opinion. You get 1000's of people spending money they do not have on stuff they do not really want or need. {They buy on credit and they
buy because it's cheap} It's like all these other silly events like Valentine's Day and Halloween... Xmas.. People are just pulled into a debt trap, driven by emotions.
If they outlaw it for say 10 years, most people would recover enough from this debt cycle, to start paying for things in cash or Bitcoin. It's a vicious cycle!
How would you outlaw Black Friday exactly? Make it illegal for retailers to have sales or be open on that one day? You really want a law allowing government and lawmakers to decide how and when consumers can spend their hard earned monies? I know Mercuh can be a Nanny state in many respects, but outlawing Black Friday just so some people don't go into debt? I don't see that happening. If anything, Black Friday is turning/devolving into Black Thursday and Friday. Someday soon it will be Black Friday Week, just like Valentines Day --> Valentines weekend --> Valentines Week, or Birthdays --> Birthday Weeks.
It's not love, but money that makes the world go round, my friend.
