We the people of the United States of America, on this day, formally warn all of the big businesses that stand to profit off of the pseudo-holiday of "Black Friday" that we all plan to be in bed sick that day. Yes, that is right. We will all wake up, feeling ill. Those of us who are not sick, are spending time with our families. Sorry, but we will not be participating in your system for an entire 24-hour period.
Perhaps, during this day of rest and unity, find it in your hearts to start paying the workers that help your companies build their wealth, a livable wage. I recommend you fix this discrepancy that was surely overlooked, and not a product of choosing profits over people, or you may find yourselves in the same boat in the near future. $15 should do.
Signed,
The American Citizen
