Geek Smack! Topic of the Week: Black Friday, Cyber Monday shows we might also #OccupySales

Well, we survived another mad dash shopping weekend. With the exception of the person that pepper sprayed for an XBox 360, and the local issues in Wisconsin with the recall efforts of our Governor. Otherwise, it’s been reported that Black Friday was a huge success. Even Apple, who hasn’t participated in the event in the past, hit 4x better sales than years past.

It makes you wonder – all these people sitting outside Wall Street for a reason? How can we say “Occupy” whatever, when we shovel into stores and buy, buy, buy? It’s like if a peasant in mid-evil times were to say “We doth have no food on thine table for thy family”, then pull out and start eating a turkey leg…

By definition, I am one of the 99%. But I don’t use that as an excuse. Yes, I get worried on bills and where my next meal will come from. I am also working on new plans to expand. That is why I started iPad365. That is why I am talking to financial experts and working new deals.

I am glad for shop owners who saw record sales. Black Friday weekend got a 24% boost and Cyber Monday also saw 20% increase in sales. But where does that leave us when it comes to saying we are poor? Or did the stores just provide the right discounts to where we could afford to buy the stuff?
