9/11 was a day the world changed in America. 13 years later, it is a day of solemn remembrance and dignified respect for those we lost in those awful attacks on our country.
But — in the land of the free (market economy), and home of the brave, some greedy assholes try to use 9/11’s emotional heartstrings as a marketing opportunity by offering potential customers discount codes. It’s beyond tasteless. Here are some of the most egregious violators who you should probably NOT support this year.
