I seriously thought it was, at first.

The guy says stuff that actually resonates with me, though. He's predicting the downfall of our economy because we're going to be focused on food vs putting presents under the tree. That's how I believe it should be.
Our economy has far too long been based on giving credit so you can buy stuff you don't need with money you don't have, with the marketing machine making you feel inferior if you don't get the stuff you don't need that everyone else has. As we've just seen, this is not a sustainable way to run an economy.

I recently noticed that 95% of everything my money goes to that isn't a utility or mortgage is food. It's where my real enjoyment is.
