From “In God We Trust” as it is appears on our currency to what Marx once said was “the Opium of the People” there’s also a new addictive drug that links everything together and becomes America’s new core religion based on the country’s dependence on consumerism and credit.
Holidays used to be patriotic or religious. Today the most popular ones are Black Friday, Black or Cyber Monday and Prime Day, Amazon’s latest invention.
This past week, Amazon Prime Day broke new records as shoppers purchased 175 million items between Monday and Tuesday, making it the largest shopping event in the company's history. Amazon said that customers purchased more products on Prime Day than the 2018 Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined.
America has found more religion than ever before in “shopping till it drops” as we like to say. As for us, we contributed our share to that mass buying mania. The deals were too good to ignore!
