Retailers prepare months in advance for this day—preparation that’s meant to stimulate your insatiable desire to consume. Doorbuster sales. New products. Gigantic newspaper ads. TV, radio, print, billboards. Sale, [...]
This is a picture of a warning sign in the dorms at Miami University (Ohio)—a college we both attended before not finishing college.
