    Lol, shitty business man does shitty at business, blames it on his not-customers. Sell me a product removed. 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.

                    I have empathy. I’ve had shitty bosses. Do you think I’m saying to go quit on the spot and then start job hunting? Because that would be really dumb. You apply for new jobs on the clock at your shitty job.
