Joke is Black Friday deals are more expensive than other times of the year.

You should have laws against that

Michael Hill advertised a “Member Event 25% off Sitewide” sale on its website, implying that all products sitewide were discounted by 25% for members, when some products were not discounted.

MyHouse promoted their sale with ads stating “Up to 60% OFF RRP EVERYTHING ON SALE“, followed by “+EXTRA 20% OFF”. The ACCC considered this misleading as the additional 20% off did not apply to all products.

Hairhouse Online’s “SAVE 20% to 50% SITEWIDE” promotion was misleading because more than a quarter of the products available on its website were excluded from the sale offer.

Ensure discount claims are genuine: Only advertise discounts where products have been genuinely offered at the higher price for a meaningful period. Avoid creating artificially inflated “was” prices solely to support discount claims. This also applies to displaying the RRP price next to a discounted price – if the product has not recently been sold at the RRP price, this could be misleading.

Document pricing decisions: Maintain records of previous pricing to support any discount claims and demonstrate compliance with ACL requirements.

Americans don’t give a single shit about how fucked they are. If they did, they’d do something about it that’s a little more effective than waving signs at a parade.

In my experience it's more of a "everyone is too overworked and underpaid to have time to fact check all of the political lies being thrown around." And the people that aren't overworked are either the ones trying to lead protests and voting movements, or the ones upholding the status quo because it benefits them. Definitely not as simple as "Americans hate having basic protections"

You could just say “pants-pissing fear of possible discomfort to the point that they’ll tolerate outright abuse.”

That’s servile, cowardly bullshit. Those who are overworked and underpaid have greater incentive than anyone to take action.
