Another 99 Percent Holiday Idea: Spend Your Money on Local Artists and Performers

Comments

Stock up on ramen and Campbell's when on sale. Ignore advertisers and exhortations to spend. Do not buy local. Do not buy at all.

Actually, economic data show the US economy, provided the House doesn't pull the engine-stoking middle class payroll tax cut out from under us, is starting to recover.

My dad loves The NY Mets. Anyone know of a local Butoh group that does Mets related work?

Other than that I'm on board.

Here's a better idea.

Get a list of everyone in the 1%.

Then anytime they want to buy something, jack up the price like 10,000%.

My family stopped exchanging presents 3 years ago at my frustrated demand to get out of the soul sucking experience of shopping. Now instead of presents we see a show together (this year "The Wild Bride" at Berkeley Rep) and go out to a nice dinner.
