Love the point about energy aside have been making that same argument re life in space in its full range of permutations, since humans will need to fully replicate a livable environment in a place where everything there is lethal, energy will become the unit of exchange.
Word of caution: a lot of people hold off on purchases they would otherwise make during the year to take advantage of the pricing offers on Black Friday. We needed a new vacuum cleaner as the old one, repaired twice, finally had the rotary beater gear shear apart (and the cost to fix again is prohibitively expensive) so rather than dash out to Walmart and grab the first cheap thing we could find, we held off until Black Friday when lots of manufacturers are offering deals. Did it mean the house was left a little more dirty for a few weeks? Yup—but in the end we saved 20% on a quality vacuum by waiting.
And don't forget, people need things all. the. time. Black Friday just happens to be a better day than most to get bargains.

We need to learn to take better care of the things we own, and stop treating everything as disposable.
Simple: we rebuke it. Why should we tear each other to shreds over mere trinkets? Because said trinket is “on sale”? Bosh!
