The people seem to have forgotten that their capitalist overlords can only overlord because of the money we give them and let’s be fair, most of those purchases are stupid crap to give us a seratonin boost. All I’m tryin ta say is I also get a seratonin boost every time their stocks crash because of a poor earnings report, so let’s all just not buy stuff for awhile.

Instead of No Nut November let’s try a No Sales September or something

It’s actually not that difficult only buying food and hygiene products for one month. It isn’t sustainable (for my household) since many things like electronic devices or clothing have a “shelf life” and will break sooner or later.

Still I love the idea and I think it would help many people to save money, use less resources and think about what really makes them happy.

In September I will start making memes about it 🥳

Wow… this movement has just doubled in size. Continuing this exponential growth, the movement will have around 137,438,953,472 participants on September 1st, and thereby will have a profound if not catastrophic impact on the global economy. 🥳🥳
