I see it every year. People overspending just to celebrate Turkey Day. They don’t even know what it is about. What it really is is over customerism for the food industry combined with something irrational gluttony

    So why isn’t your opinion “no one should be wasting money on thanksgiving “

    If your view is that thanksgiving is wasteful why are you saying people on food stamps.

    Like, I think sports are pretty wasteful. So I say that. I don’t say “Catholics shouldn’t play sports” because that makes it weird.

      If you have the income it’s not wasteful. I’m saying if you barely can afford food you don’t need to over consume for a holiday. THAT’S WHAT I AM SAYING

        I think you need to revisit the term “wasteful” in the dictionary.

        Setting $100 bill on fire is wasteful regardless of if you have only that 100 or 100 billion.

        Wasteful is wasteful.

        Maybe find a different word to use so what you say makes sense. Otherwise it very wasteful of my time.
