With all due respect, I'm well aware of the realities of business.  I
was offering that paragraph as an explanation for my non-US friends who
might not know what "Black Friday" is.

Did you even read the rest of my post?  If I'm pissed off and depressed
about rampant consumerism leading to the *deaths* of innocent people, do
you think I effing care about details like what kind of profit margin
retailers normally take in?
