I swear I am going to spend money like I have plenty (I don't).

Been putting off buying some electronics. Screw it. Buying them tomorrow.

Going to stock up on groceries and fill the cars with gas.

Spend it if you have it.

He chose Blackout Day as the last day of the month, a very common payday?

It’s a really stupid idea. All it does is delay purchases that were going to happen anyway.

Thanks for telling me about this. There would have been no evidence whatsoever of it having happened otherwise.

I remember people calling for this during Obama’s first term. One of the dumbest things ever thought up.

We're talking Al Sharpton here....

He loses fights with teleprompters. "Resist we much!"

I still don't get this. They're promoting shopping at small businesses. This should already be a thing?

Well, it is Al sharpton we're talking about here. It's not like you'd run into him leaving a Mensa meeting or anything.
