Default Bed, Bath, and Bankruptcy: How Virtue Signaling about MyPillow Killed a Company
Lessee, dropping one of your best selling product lines, stuff that, by the way, gets shoppers in the door to buy your OTHER wares? Check.

Pissing off literally half your customer base. Check.

Imminent bankruptcy. Who could have seen this coming?

I have bought Mike's products--mattress pad, sheets, towels--very high quality, great value, would buy again, as thinking of getting a pair of those slippers for 90% off.

Only haters are pol-driven wholearses who refuse to buy his product due to wokeness, all others endorse his product line.

Yes, blame Trump. The time to blame Bush is too far in the past. You should be able to get 4 or 5 more years of blame for Democrat ****tardness on Trump. All the other libtards I know are doing it.

Sounds like you are streaming Fox and not watching a broadcast. Broadcast (even over cable) will have local and national ads. I have Xfinity/Comcast and have never seen that. At my office we have our TVs streaming FOX and they will say "We're on a break" or something similar.

Thread has ZERO to do with Trump.
What do you charge Trump to live in your head every passing minute??

I believe those with TDS Stage 4 are eligible for SSA Disability, and a free monthly colonic.

We can't seem to find any OTA/cable delivered FOX station on our Commiecast 'service'.....for some reason.....dunno why......

OH, I forgot to add, our cable service for TV is a 4th set take off from my wife's daughter, across the highway from us.....about 2 miles away....and somehow we save 50/month via being our set counts on HER total.....been some time/years for this setup, and of course Comcrap sent a note around to everyone, supposedly, about a 50/month RATE increase......figgers.....

The way BBB shot themselves in the foot over this, the thread title should have been "blood, Bath, and Beyond"
