We all know he’s bullshitting about the $50k. Judge should offer indentured servitude instead and let’s see going that $50k comes out.

    There was a time in 2014 I think that MyPillow had no political leanings. It was just that pillow you saw at 3am when infomercials came on.

    I almost bought one. It seemed like a decent pillow. I don’t know why I didn’t buy one, but I was close. Then I get distracted for 2 years. Then he gets assosiated with trump, and now I’m glad I didn’t buy one.

    I don’t know the CEO of coca-cola. I don’t know their political dealings. But if coke came out and said “FUCK THE MEXICANS! BUILD A WALL!!! VACINES ARE A HOAX!!!” I would cease buying coke.

    I’m sure the ceo probably is republican. But do you notice how coke has no political affiliation? Coke has smart marketing and business sense. You come out as republican, lose half the countries sales. Come out as democrat, lose half the countries sales. Stay annonomous? Nobodys offended and you can keep putting that white polar bear and santa on your cans at christmas time.

    Which…by the way. When you think of the north pole, why is coke the only ones who show that polar bears are native to the north pole? I mean, I know it’s a fictional place, but it just seems logical that polar bears would live on the north pole.

      Same is happening to Tesla right now. Maybe even to Starlink, as other companies plan to offer European altrrnatives. People who thought about buying the product are “ew, it’s from the nazi man” now.

      I believe My Pillow was a product that did a lot of advertising on AM talk radio. That might have been a clue. My mom tried one and said it was hard as a rock. She tried a softer version, and she didn’t like that one either. It’s basically just memory foam that’s shredded into small pieces inside the pillow.

      There comes a time when saying “no thanks” is a necessary political choice. Coke gave trump the commemorative inauguration bottle as usual and supports his diet Coke button reinstalled at the white house. By not starting to step back on some things, I’m buying less and less coke. Any time I can avoid coke without drinking the swill from PepsiCo, I do. But that time may also soon come to an end.
