Mike Lindells war against machines is costing him some of his own machines.
The MyPillow CEO is auctioning off company equipment after major retailers such as Walmart dropped his products due to his wild election conspiracy theories.
It was a massive, massive cancellation, Lindell told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. We lost $100 million from attacks by the box stores, the shopping networks, the shopping channels, all of them did cancel culture on us.
As a result, bargain hunters in the Minneapolis area have a chance to bid on MyPillow equipment including trucks, forklifts, air compressors, sewing machines, computers and more.
Lindell told WCCO, the CBS station in Minneapolis, that he has a pile of unsold inventory and that hes been shifting workers around to avoid layoffs.
I do every customer like my only customer and every employee like my only employee, he told the station.

(27,248 posts)I got hooked on it and cringe whenever Lindells commercials come on.
I enjoy now knowing he destroyed his company for advocating for overthrowing our government for a false dictator. I hope he ends up bankrupt and penniless. And hopefully in jail!

What a shame. Now you're stuck with a warehouse full of crappy pillows.
What are the odds pillow-boy is back on the crack pipe before election day? Better than 50/50 would be my guess.

(745 posts)All these companies buy the same material off the open market.
A pair of leggings from an expensive brand uses the same material as one from a cheap brand. The difference is fitting. No one is weaving their own unique material. I'm sure pillow cushioning is no different.
obamanut2012
(29,369 posts)IKEA uses better quality cushioning.
My father is very respected in the textile field, and I grew up with it. You are 100% wrong. A white Oxford shirt from a Wal-Mart store brand does not use the same material as one from the Gap, and neither use the same material as one made for Ralph Lauren. They might be made in teh same plant, but they are not the same. Same with anything else kind of material. You are categorically wrong. I even doublechecked with him before I wrote this.
The same with teh foam used in the IKEA pillows versus teh My Pillow pillows verus a pillow from Five Below.
"No one is weaving their own unique material"
Ummm yes, they are. There are patents on the machines, the processes, etc.
Hieronymus Phact
(745 posts)When i worked for a major International garment company (who i won't name here). Anyone can buy the same clothing materials they buy. The difference was mostly branding. If I was told wrong, or understood it wrong, then it's wrong. Thanks for the correction.

(17,506 posts)foam. I have a variety of pillows from down to memory foam, most are recognizable brandsbut Lindell's pillow is unquestionably lumpy with the shredded foam, but of all my pillows that one works best for me. YMMV

(27,248 posts)When I dried them in the dryer one of them exploded and the plastic pieces went into the engine dryer and destroyed the drier. The repairman said he has seen this often. Luckily it was before the pandemic and I ended buying a set washer and dryer for $500 from Lowes that someone returned because one was silver and the other was white. 5 years later theyre both working fine.

(13,003 posts)that participated, thinking Trump, for sure, would have their backs and pardon them for all of their loyalty and support...........
There's so many of their cult that should have purchased their pardons while Lardass was selling them for a few million apiece...
Besides, Trump was way way to busy on his last days in office stealing U.S. Gov't Top Secret Intel by the plane load, that he could take to Maralago to sell in the future than to worry about any other person except himself......
Of course they are all certain, including the thousand (and counting) in prison, that Trump will win the 2024 and then pardon them all.
Sadly, none of them in prisons will be able to vote, being felons and all, don't you know.....
Most parents, by the time their kids are 10, have taught their kids that there are consequences for their actions.....
His news release, was nothing more than getting free advertising for his obsolete, worn out, equipment, garage sale.........
His statement should have read: I lost 100 million for my seditious and treasonous attacks on the U.S.Constitution, and for trying to willfully destroy the U.S. Gov't, and our Democracy........

(11,767 posts)Dude. People don't want to advertise with or buy from a coked up lunatic who goes out spewing defamatory nonsense, who is getting sued for hundreds of millions of dollars, who has almost caused other organizations to get sued for said, billions or hundreds of millions of dollars, AND who still won't STFU!!
That isn't cancel culture fool, that is Capitalism. Remember when we all loved Lance Armstrong? He was America's golden boy! He had his foundation, everyone wanted his merch, his bike, etc... then we found out he was a cheater, in every sense of the word, from juicing to cheating on his partners, we didn't "Cancel" him. People just didn't want to buy from a scumbag cheater.
I mean Volkwagen started as a car manufacturer in Nazi. No one wanted to by a car that was started by and manufactured for the Nazis. They rehabbed the car and the image of the company and now it is a global brand. It works both ways. If you do stupid shit, people don't want to associate with you. If you do better shit, people may want to associate with you despite your past.
That is actually how things work in general and in Capitalism Mike. Now, step away from the crack pipe for a bit, get some better buddies, and maybe in a couple of decades, your shitty pillow may make a comeback.
