Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

As someone who has received one of his pillows as a gift, it does not surprise me in the least that the company is going under. Aside from his crazier than a shithouse rat politics, the lumpy sacks of industrial waste he passes off as pillows are the most uncomfortable thing I've ever laid my head on.
My crazy mother got me some, and yeah they suck. But I have used a good version of chopped memory foam pillows at a rental once, so it is possible. I wish I'd noted the brand
Y’know, my wife got one back when they first came out (and before all the election denying) and she loved it. It was firm enough not to go flat, but soft enough to be comfortable. She had it for a while, and even took it with us on vacation, but we accidentally left it behind at a hotel and didn’t notice until we got home. I ordered her another one, and it was junk. She hated it. It wouldn’t hold its shape, was lumpy, and was horribly uncomfortable. We sent it back and ordered another with the same results. We wound up throwing it away, and she sleeps on a Purple Pillow now.
I read something later that said that after his pillows got popular, he started cutting costs by using substandard memory foam pieces, and the quality tanked. In my experience, that seems exactly right. So I will say that his pillows were really good when he started out, but they’re junk now.
I worked at bed bath & beyond for a coupla years as a cashier. Had a helluva lot more of those things returned to us than we ever sold. 😂
