That surprised me so I did a little research. The article I read said the company grosses over $100 million per year and this article says $1.4 million a week on advertising. That doesn't leave much to run the company or hire a lot of lawyers!

MyPillow mired in legal challenges

MyPillow has been facing legal action on several fronts since TINA.org first put the company on notice in February regarding unsubstantiated health claims for its heavily marketed pillow. (The company spends $1.4 million a week on advertising, according to the Boston Herald.) Since then, three class-action lawsuits have been filed against MyPillow, all of which, in one form or another, mirrored TINA.org’s findings. These findings include claims that Lindell is a “sleep expert” despite having no specialized training or board certification in actual sleep medicine (see below); the misuse of several news organizations’ logos, including The New York Times that falsely suggests endorsements by the media outlets; and the misleading nature of the company’s ubiquitous buy-one-get-one-free pillow offer. Citing consumer complaints about the BOGO offer, the BBB in January 2017 revoked MyPillow’s accreditation and lowered its rating from an A-plus to an F.

Several people complained about the company’s ubiquitous buy-one-get-one-free offer. Turns out, the price MyPillow quotes in the promotion as the “regular price” is roughly double what you can pay for a single pillow — a fact now at the center of another class action against the company.

In an interview, MyPillow founder and CEO Michael Lindell noted that MyPillow did not admit any wrongdoing in the California case. He said the company settled in order to avoid the cost and time associated with further litigation.

What can we conclude? Slick marketing is still slick!

I'm not impressed by the pillows either.

And now a word from our sponsors

That is such a Foolish question. Not quite sure how anyone with any intelligence could ask that question. Just boggles a mind. Just plain WOW...

Perhaps I should apologize, but...
 

As I write this, I am shaking my head in awe....your posts are boggling my mind.....how can you make such foolish comments? Just plain WOW. Please stop disgracing yourself.

It was an ineloquent question but how is it any more "foolish" than someone saying "I don't know anyone with coronavirus so the country is overreacting"? Talk about selective outrage.

You need to read more slowly, and then (PUHLEASE!) stop posting.

Readers who were actually paying attention realized that BiggD asked about Maxum's family rhetorically--he "knew" that Maxum would not sacrifice family and only wanted Maxum to acknowledge as much.

But then Maxum--in maybe the most powerful post I've ever read--said that as a military man with 2 tours he WOULD sacrifice his family for the country he loves, and then went even further by noting his current risk for what truly is an essential service.

So as it turns out, BiggD asked an excellent question that provoked an excellent response. My hat is off to both BiggD and Maxum.

This is different that your posts, which as others have noted, are just bitter and ill-founded. Please stop

Yet !! True. They don't follow your left leaning agenda, however they are true. SO, Did you try and be nice to a total stranger today? I sincerely doubt you did. Mass people are just like that.
If the shoe fits??

If you just signed up to this site to post nasty remarks you will get nasty responses. Esp now that everyone is house bound and stressed to the max!

LOL, not that way at all. I speak the truth and some don't want to hear it. I'm fine with that! But I don't on the other hand have to listen to others
misunderstanding of the truth or Their side of the truth and be caught up with what ( I ) call bulls&%t. This is GLOBAL. And all the travelers think it doesn't apply to them. How can that be? Serious question. How can that be?

And as you pointed out( others have noted )... A few others, AND There are 3 times as many that agree with me and have not posted. Just like the 2016 Election when Hillary was SURE to become the next President. How did that work out for you guys? There are always 2 sides to every opinion.

Since you're the only one that knows/speaks the truth why are you asking a question? You should be telling us.

Please tell us why ALL travelers think the exact same way and enlighten us ?

Good that you can quantify the amount of people who do not say anything that agree with you, what a talent you have.

And it worked out well, thanks for asking.

My point on your posts was not based on politics or popularity--it was strictly personal. Personal in the sense that you insult people with nothing behind you but some sort of deep amorphous rage. Just for example--it is wrong to assert that everybody from Mass is less kind to strangers than those from NH (you've done this two or three times now).

On the political front, you'll notice that I have not asked other Republicans to stop posting, and that I acknowledge when they make reasonable points. This Maxum post is just one example--I disagree vehemently with his position, but he did make a damn good point. It's too bad that you missed it

I've never blocked anyone but I'm going to block this guy! Just don't want to read his BS.

Dude - relax. 'Mass people are just like that'? Really???? So, it's not pigeon-holing if they're all really like that, right? I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to cut you off. In the meantime, take a deep breath and get a hold of yourself.

You just gave him a New Yorker to target, stand back... :fire:

Starbucks...
 

Starbucks has re-opened its stores in China.
:eek2:

I agree. It would not surprise me if the powers in charge decide he has worn out his welcome. And then Poof! Never heard from again!

Did you say Hello to a total stranger today TiltonBB ? If you did, did it make you feel any better or are you still a Bitter person?

There are some hard feelings here about people from Massachusetts. We were summer people in the 1950s and the 1960s from Massachusetts, until my parents retired in 1972. Back then, there was so much lakefront available that locals sometimes would buy it for a dollar an acre just so they could log it. People never thought that the lake would ever be this developed.

I think there was a lot of resentment back then when some of the locals realized that out of staters saw the value in the lake that they didn’t. A lot of people like my parents from Massachusetts bought land and it was a very good investment!

I remember back in the 1960s when lakefront was selling for $100 a foot. Locals laughed in my father’s face when he was buying large chunks of property.

Actually it is a fair and legitimate question based on my response. I see it perfectly fair to question one's consistency in taking a certain position whether you happen to agree with it or not. In no way was it personal or inappropriate considering the context.

I may not agree with anything Biggd or others believe in regards to politics or this virus situation- but I certainly respect their opinions. I can't say as much for you.

14 Days
 

I say put FLL and lakeporter65 in a room for 14 days and see what happens! :eek:

Now that I think about it- include Major!

Another informative press conference featuring Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci. It’s a no BS
data-driven session. Stay at home, mind your business, avoid groups, and hope for the best. Also....avoid slinging arrows at people with whom you disagree....
that’s imperative!
😎

They are just proving my point.

This is going to be a rough two week period or maybe even three weeks. It is absolutely critical for the American people to follow the guidelines. It’s a matter of life and death.

Absolutely! It is deader than dead down here on Florida’s west coast...restaurants, bars, beaches, pools, almost everything....CLOSED. People seem to be taking it all seriously .....very little traffic. It’s no fun, but well worth the effort if the damage done by the pandemic can be mitigated. We’ll have to wait and see. 🤞

I can tell you on my way to work this week the volume of traffic on the roads has slightly increased. Why? Dunno - have some had enough and are starting to return to a normal routine or is there a legit reason for it?

Every day on my way home I am seeing more out of state plates headed into NH, beyond the typical mix of MA plates, I'm talking CT, NY, NJ, RI and beyond.

Put up a road block, built with huge 100-year old pine trees, blocking Rt 93 between Methuen Ma and Salem NH, at the state border, and start hitting out-of-stater's with a big, fat NH entry fee based on what car they is driving ..... economy - regular - luxury ...... say $1000 - $5000 - $10000.

This next one here ...... it looks like an Audi ....... well, hellooooooooo! .... :laugh:

If they are driving an older Scionn XB, a little smashed up, what do you think? Give them a sympathy card and a few dollars to help them along their way?

Dr. Birx Tells Off CDC...
 

Yesterday, Dr. Birx tells CDC Director:

I know I will regret this...but if you really read the link, it does not say what you are claiming. As with most distorted reports/conspiracy theories, there is a kernel of truth but the insinuations lead to distortions and erroneous conclusions.

I can’t find a direct quote attributed to the doctors...but I would opine it is taken out of context if one exists.

This is not limited to either right or left wing distortions. But, in this case it is right wing.

This deliberate disinformation virus is more dangerous, in the long run, than Covid.

Finally, I am not saying the poster does not believe it and that is the problem. We believe what we wish to believe...but that does not make it true.

Shining a Bright Light on Bezos...
 

I couldn't find a direct quote attributed to the doctors, either. Apparently, their online product was slow to come out. However, by Monday, several online sources mention the Washington Post. :confused:

The "outburst" was on Wednesday. Was one of the "unnamed sources"— quoted by the Washington Post—the Gateway Pundit?

Today, there's another reference:

covid-19 is killing businesses as well as people
 

Meanwhile businesses are failing, closing, going dark, filing bankruptch in droves.

Just saw Cirque du Soleil filed for bankruptcy.
