It looks like the media has coined yet another term for the days on which the corporatocracy wants us citizens consumers to concentrate on buying stuff: “Mega-Monday.”
It’s “Mega-Monday,” and retailers expect the day after Christmas to be one of busiest shopping days of the year.

“The day after christmas is now considered to be up there with ‘Black Friday’ as one of the hugest shopping days of the year,” Yarrow points out. “Gift cards really fuel a lot of the day-after-Christmas shopping. It used to be, primarily, returns.”
Ah yes. “Black Friday,” “Cyber-Monday” and now “Mega-Monday” (next year it’ll be “Mega-Tuesday”). They have us right where they want us.
