Great article! My adult children all have young families and are just starting out. We made a large order for Christmas from a local farmer who raises animals in the best possible way. My children are going to love it and we have supported our local food producers at the same time. And it makes me happy to know that my children and grandchildren are eating clean meat.
Yes, I agree. Unfortunately, most of these products are too expensive for me reasonably afford. I will support like minded businesses, but on a smaller scale.
Black Friday is an accounting term. I have had 4 years of accounting classes. "Black Friday" is the day of the year which determines if the company will make a profit (be in the black, where positive numbers were printed in the normal black ink) or have a loss (where negative numbers on accounting statements used to be printed in red). That's assuming their fiscal year ends on Dec 31. It has nothing to do with slavery or anything else. It has only to do with accounting.
People who link it to slavery are just promoting victimhood and looking for attention. Keep in mind victimhood is a key symptom of a personality disorder (a mental illness). You can look it up in the DSM-V, the key manual for psychologists also used for billing of their services.
Black Friday in the USA is a term that started because it was when merchants would get their profits out of the red into the black because of increased holiday sales.
Hmmmm..... there are other companies out there too that Believe in America.... and MAKE in America too... I need to go find that list! Most importantly, buy LOCAL, support your local small businesses!
I would tend to agree with you since HP printers and computers have gone downhill over the past 30 years, unfortunately. They used to be the best in the business.
There are a number of micro businesses here in Australia Jack that assemble personal computers, I met a school student for example who taught himself how to repair and make PC's from scratch.
Perhaps you could look down that avenue wherever 'you be'
Thank you for the information! We need to start supporting small businesses more and more instead of funding big tech and other huge corporations that hate us. PublicSquare is also a great source of small patriotic businesses from which to shop.
Also, avoid falling for the marketing of the next shiny object from Apple and Google and the rest by not updating your phones until they actually die. I have a Samsung 8+ that I will keep using until I eventually break it - no upgrades for me as it does more than I need anyway.
Amen to all of the above, Foxy.

Thanks for reading it all, Darren. Appreciate you!

Appreciate the list. I’ll be using this list to get my siblings their Christmas presents this year! We all agreed we have enough “stuff”!
pleased to restack your post today and
offer the following comment:
life is played out on a universal chesslike board comprising dark and light beings,
with all shades inbetween
but unlike a chess match, when our white bishop meets black rook,
black rook transforms to white rook
we strive to be better teachers, fading the grays into shades of white
as pawns, many of us are simply content, to serve on the side of light

Dear Vigilant Fox, 💝
I hope you understand how much I appreciate your tireless and informational work.
I tune in everyday.
But I'm not comfortable with the concept of 'black friday' particularly, in relation to trade.
In Australia we had a horrendous series of bushfires, that were labelled by mainstream media 'black saturday'
Every day is Golden.
So please, no more black, white or brown days.
Just spectacular, golden, magical and freaky Fridays.
With ❤️

Just to qualify,
Black is equated with bad. It's not.
We hear so much of the Human price if black and it ain't a lot of positive.
I'll be requesting Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, whom I love, to similarly refrain.
For after all, we are ALL shades of God's rainbow, and you piss God off at your own peril.....

Thank you for explaining AJ#2 😊
Great post! Thanks for this reminder. On the subject of the Wellness Centre, you may want to read this concerning research on the context (it’s long): https://open.substack.com/pub/beyondthemaze/p/the-wellness-company?r=q9aq0&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Great idea, but as someone looking for a new computer, I’m asking where are the suggested “parallel” options to, eg, Apple?
Unfortunately, that's still a work in progress. Of all the companies that sell electronics, Samsung might be one of the best ones.
I would tend to agree with you since HP printers and computers have gone downhill over the past 30 years, unfortunately. They used to be the best in the business.
Wishing now that I was not Apple to the core!😡 I hate to support multinationals especially whose values run so contrary to mine.

There's quite a list of toxic businesses to avoid, and why, right here: https://wordsalad.info/tag-boycottleft.html
Naked Organs?
I'm leery. The bison may be "clean" but their feed could be tainted. Their water could be tainted. Chem-trails are EVERYWHERE!
Naked Organs sounds dystopian to me. Harvesting/selling organs from these poor slaughtered creatures is just "weird" to me.
It is even more important to buy from businesses that still sell what you want or need to buy.
Am impressed with the quality of the Z-flu gummies. Delicious!
