I'm not sure if anyone is buying anything the can't afford not to have. To paint a mindless consumer holiday about large t.v.s and electronics as a class struggle is a little bit of a stretch in my opinion. Ill concede some people may desperately need a new appliance due to one being completely broken but I cant imagine thats even 1% of shoppers today. If it was tinged with this manic desperstion the journalist is stretching to see then I suppose we'll see some old fashion stampedes and tramplings of the late 90s and 2000's. Maybe, I'm just sick of articles finding excuses to paint my generation as helpless, fucked, and victims.
