I’m not calling him a Nazi but if he ever decides to start selling leather goods I suggest having them dna tested.

They were both very sweet, and occasionally gave me free stuff, so I did not begrudge.

When the water heater was replaced at my in-laws’ house, I had to pay the plumber for them since they were out of the country. I watched the guy write up the invoice, first the parts and then he added the labor. It was $666.00 (in 1998), so he subtracted a dollar. I told him that I was okay with $666.00, but he said he wasn’t.

Suggest or give him other brands’ crumbled memory foam pillows. That’s what’s in mike’s lumpy pillows.

I wondered that too, and I had a check and couldn’t find anything, unless he is trying to promote Ansell Ringers Thermal Gloves; the monster!

no need to buy them at all, he can have one for a tenth of the overpriced ones; buy a block of foam for furniture for a fiver in the hardware store, cut it in bits / tear it apart and stuff that in an old pillowcase you already have; voila.
(yes, thats the inside of a mypillow. 50 bucks for this!)

Yeah. that’s the invention. He chopped up polyurethane foam. And zipped it up into a pillow. Hopefully he’s buying low-VOC versions of foam and not the cheapest (and smelliest) block of open cell foam at the hardware store.
I don’t have too much to object to with his company’s products. The concept is fine and at least at one time the quality was fine, if overpriced. I do have a lot of problems with the owner. Lindell is a dangerous far right political activist. And uses his company as a political tool. And clearly to its detriment, if the quarterly financials are any indication.
Guys like Lindell are evil and dumb. Dumb to a degree of being self-destructive. People like him will ruin their company in order to get their vile message out. They are political activists first while the business and the many workers he employers are expendable to thier twisted cause.

Never attribute to malice, what is adequately explained by stupidity.
.88 is a near universal pricing convention for Final Clearance, Final Markdown, Do Not Replenish. In those systems, .89 has another, specific, procedural meaning. I’m more than willing to believe that his razor sharp technical staff do not know how to override a price without completely flattening the inventory system rules.
That is not to say he’s a “Stand Up Guy”, or Misunderstood, or anything other than a complete dumpster fire of a human being … but it’s a long road from carnival huckster, and Useful Idiot, to open genocide promoter - and it requires giving him an awful lot of credit to imagine him coming up with it all by himself.
Are we STILL trying to insist that these assholes aren’t maliciously racist, only dumb? At this point, they very much ARE leaning heavily into racism, Pillow Guy included. This isn’t a mistake. They are very much showing us WHO they are, and it’s time to believe them instead of giving them a pass yet again for their abhorrent behavior.
Racism is not caused by ignorance and stupidity… it’s caused by a belief in the superiority of white people. That’s it. Smart people embrace that POV just as much as people some might consider stupid… It’s the embracing of the ideology of white supremacy that causes racism, not ignorance.
He didn’t. No one said he did. It’s a longstanding code among white supremacists…

I’ve been told that they just changed the deal to $14.98. I still have to believe that someone put the original price there on purpose.

Or you could update your Bayesian priors to notice when there definitely are malicious actors, and not assume Nazi fans are doing Nazi stuff by accident so long as you can come up with any possible reason to excuse them. Godwin said his law stopped applying to this movement a long time ago; this one should too.

At this point we are at the stage of people attributing to stupidity, what can only plausibly explained by malice.

Never is an awfully long time.
And the aphorism doesn’t take into account the known behavior and history of some actors.

I would have sighed heavily while pinching the bridge of my nose and handed over my credit card.
