“God, no wonder people in other countries hate us.” In other places, when refugees chase after relief trucks carrying bags of rice, we think it uncivilized. Here, if you shove others to the ground in hopes of saving a couple of bucks on Anal-Probe Elmo or what the fuck ever, we call it enthusiasm.

We’re getting to the point where our urge to spend and our desire for a bargain is killing us in more ways than one.
