It's not a "war" if two parties won't both engage.

If people didn't shop on Thanksgiving, the stores wouldn't be open - and I would guess that a fair portion of those shopping are "low wage workers" themselves. (That little attempt to make this a class war doesn't quite work, but they tried. Good try, HuffPost.)

Not only that, maybe spending a day with family and gorging isn't everyone's idea of fun or something that contributes to everyone's physical or mental health. I worked the last 3 Thanksgivings. I didn't mind in the least. Before we work ourselves into an outrage, maybe we should consider if for many people, there is anything to be outraged about.
