    As someone who has received one of his pillows as a gift, it does not surprise me in the least that the company is going under. Aside from his crazier than a shithouse rat politics, the lumpy sacks of industrial waste he passes off as pillows are the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever laid my head on.

      Y’know, my wife got one back when they first came out (and before all the election denying) and she loved it. It was firm enough not to go flat, but soft enough to be comfortable. She had it for a while, and even took it with us on vacation, but we accidentally left it behind at a hotel and didn’t notice until we got home. I ordered her another one, and it was junk. She hated it. It wouldn’t hold its shape, was lumpy, and was horribly uncomfortable. We sent it back and ordered another with the same results. We wound up throwing it away, and she sleeps on a Purple Pillow now.

      I read something later that said that after his pillows got popular, he started cutting costs by using substandard memory foam pieces, and the quality tanked. In my experience, that seems exactly right. So I will say that his pillows were really good when he started out, but they’re junk now.

      My crazy mother got me some, and yeah they suck. But I have used a good version of chopped memory foam pillows at a rental once, so it is possible. I wish I’d noted the brand

    It was probably antifa. He is so mean to the republicans. What did the republicans ever do to antifa that made him so mad?

    In case it’s not obvious… /s

    I see some sewing machines are up for auction… I would love it if the Biden campaign bought them up to make Biden shirts to sell. Maybe something like “I defeated an election conspiracy and all it got me was Joe Biden as President… and this shirt.”

    Sure they did buddy - sure they did. Not to go off on a tangent, have you considered taking it easy on your “medication?” You look like you could use some sleep.

    Lol, shitty business man does shitty at business, blames it on his not-customers. Sell me a product bitch. I ain’t fuckin sold on an overpriced pillow. Let alone his overpriced pillow. How many competitors this mother fucker have? It’s a goddamn saturated ass market of fucking pricy pillows. Where’s his marketing? Where’s his diversification? How often are people buying pillows?
    This asshole made a fucking niche ass product for a niche ass market and then went on a fucking midlife crisis rant bender about some conspiracy bullshit.
    Maybe that was his hair brained idea of marketing. He wanted to sell his pillow to crazy tinfoil hat fuckers. Mother fucker made his niche market even nicher. Maybe he mistook niche for Nietzsche.

      I feel pretty bad for his employees. I can’t imagine the stress of being financially dependent on this guy making good business decisions.

        Much like the Death Star contractors discussion in Clerks, I can’t feel sorry for anyone who stuck around after it became clear who they were working for.

          Yeah, maybe. I also see it somewhat like “Your state is stripping away your rights? Just move.”, in that it’s not always an option for some people. Though it would be nice to imagine everyone working there was likeminded with Lindell, instead of just a wage-slave without many options.

            Fast food restaurants are begging for applicants all around the country, and a lot of them are starting between $15-20/hour. Don’t give me that shit lol. Finding a new job is a hell of a lot easier than packing up and moving across the country.

                  Could be. Or maybe your numbers aren’t reasonable for the area. (more likely) But even setting aside that, there are plenty of reasons “hurr durr get a new jerb” may not be realistic advice: maybe the hours for a fast food job don’t work because they’re already working two jobs, or they have kids, or whatever. I didn’t say no one can get a new job, I engaged my empathy (try it) and pointed out that it’s not a universally available option.

    Who would have thought supporting a failed attempt at a dictatorship would be so unpopular?

      They can’t handle it. Remember they wanted to go after companies who decided to stop donating or advertising with right wing shitstains?
