You can cut back heavily without cutting everything. Doing my part to kill capitalism. Currently playing my part against all branded food/drink products and fabric softener.
In Spain there’s a tradition to give out candy during The Wise Men parade. The town hall buys the candy, not the parents (socialism!), and they are mostly the cheapest ones because it’s just for fun.
You can give out candy without turning it into competition and forcing everyone to spend money.
Unfortunately Americans are brainwashed to spend money on everything their whole lives. You’re a horrible ‘American’ if you don’t keep the ‘economy’ going (AKA making rich people richer).
And everything in America is a stupid competition.
Thankfully, not all Americans participate in the brainwashing.
I only know it from pop culture and online comments but in TV shows everyone wants to be the “house that gives out good candy” and people often brag about investing in better candy. So I don’t know, maybe most people don’t care but the concept of a competition is definitely out there.
Yeah, remember that those tv shows are advertisements in and of themselves. No one cares about the house with the best candy aside from a few kids that are happy.
You don’t have to watch TV shows to know this, literally check out any US-centric halloween subreddit or facebook page to see the evidence for yourself.
Spending money on stuff is the essence of American existence. When you stop doing it, America will die.
How nice. Better get to it then
How do you manage to exist without spending money? How are you online? Do you live at a library or something?

God forbid they hand out candy once a year 🙄
Christ, you people will bitch about anything.

This but unironically.

You do know TV shows are idealized representations of life? It’s not real.

It’s common sense, and OP’s username checks out.
I’ve seen you in multiple posts now being an utter shitbag. What the fuck is your problem?
The sooner they get used to diabetes the better for them.
