Spite Pillow Inc. Update

Feb 9, 2021 J. Kb 9 comments

Wow, that’s an expensive pillow to manufacture.

Usually you are looking at a cost to price ratio of 10:1 or more.  This will be a $200 pillow for sure.

Seems smart to hold inventory in a currency that varies wildly in exchange rate.  Why not Venezuelan Bolivar or Zimbabwean Dollars?

Super top down.  All the important stuff is subcontracted.

For a company thar is supposed to be selling a physical good, that is a huge bottleneck.

$40 for monogramming on top of a $300 pillow.  Yikes.

They have an insane employee compensation package thought of but they don’t have a manufacturer that can meet demand.

TThat’s far more important that having a reliable manufacturer, viable design, or raw material supplier.  They got their social media nailed down though.

This is a thing?

That is an obscenely low offer to a top tier designer. Like, holy shit, I know industrial engineers who that equates to about 45 minutes in billing.  Thats not even a raw sketch.  Slap a zero on that for a draft design for a moderate size company logo.

That’s what $200 gets you.  A stock doodle.  What the hell does that have to do with pillows or sleep.

I just did a Google image search for “science logo” and got a dozen similar logos.  This is generic as fuck.

Gotta save money for the Executive Assistant salaries.

Also, they have a manifesto?

Oh they are so fucked.

This is being run like an hyped dot com start up not a boring manufacturing company making a household good that most consumers select based on price.

For the cost of one of these pillows I can buy 10 at Costco and would prefer to have 10 from Costco.  Is having only one pillow a law I’m not aware of because I sleep like a baby on a mountain of cheap pillows collected over the years.

I guarantee that they will sell out of their first batch order, almost exclusively to rich Leftists who want a virtue signaling gris-gris.

They will declare that a victory even though it folds after that because they are ridiculously top heavy and are selling $300 pillows.

I also bet that they will fuck over their supplier and leave them with unsold inventory that they ordered but didn’t pay for before they folded.

We shall see.

Florida Democrat Mayor gets all fascist.

I expect the first visits cops will have to do is “handle” the Mayor herself.

Oh wait! She is Democrat Royalty, cannot be touched. Only the little people will be punished.

Laws for thee but not for me.

Hat Tip to everybody who sent me the tip.

Today in things that are so stupid and malicious it makes me long for SMOD

This is real:

This video went viral.  The woman went to the hospital where they were unable to help her.

Gorilla Glue released a statement:

A lawyer has weighed in on this:

See, not is Gorilla Glue wrong but it’s also racist for not knowing thar black women use hair glue and specifically warning them.

That fact that Gorilla Glue is purchased in hardware stores and is not in any way indicated that it’s a hair product, and has warnings not to get it on skin, not withstanding.

This is a shakedown not a lawsuit.

I fear, however, in this day and age, she might win or at least get a huge settlement because of the racism angle.

Please God, bring on SMOD.

(PS, do not bring up the McDonald’s coffee spill case in the comments, virtually everything the pop culture knows about that case is wrong.  McDonald’s admitted in court that they knew selling coffee at 190 degF was a hazard and after 700 previous settlements over burns, they still had no intention of selling coffee at the industry standard of 160 degF.)

Judge rules against Parkland Parents – School District not responsible for Cruz’s actions.

Feb 9, 2021 Miguel.GFZ 2 comments

The Broward school district had no responsibility to warn students and faculty at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School of the danger posed by a former student who later carried out a deadly rampage in the school, a judge ruled Monday.
…
“The District had no control over Cruz,” the judge ruled. “They did not have custody over him. He was not a student in the system and had not been for over a year. In fact, he was refused access to the campus once he left school. Nor did the district have pre-knowledge of a definitive threat by Cruz.”

Parkland parents lose in suit over school shooting – South Florida Sun-Sentinel (sun-sentinel.com)

I have to agree with the judge on this one. You can blame the school district for several things such the lack of hardening of schools even when a nice budget was given, but they cannot and should not be “in control” of anybody who is no longer in their purview and control. And that is a good thing. Why would a school district keep track and control the actions of people no longer under their purview?

This may be also a decision that I bet will be quoted when parents realize Teaching at a Distance actually taught nothing to the kids other than pig out on Cheetos and play on Zoom and decided to sue the schools because little Debbie can’t spell or read cursive.

Good. F**k her, I hope her sentence is long and miserable

This thred from Twitter:

 

Oh how sad.  This student activist took time away from her studies to protest an injustice and was arrested and is facing prison time for having a cat toy.

Except that’s a load of horse shit.

According to the Tribune-Star:

According to the charges against Mussa McCaskill: Police confronted a large number of protesters on Interstate 94 in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

Mussa McCaskill pointed a laser “directly” into a Minneapolis officer’s eyes as they stood in a line with other officers.

“Shining a laser into the eyes of officers has occurred at a number of protests around the country and is very dangerous to the officers,” the charges said. “Multiple officers in the United States have suffered significant damage to their vision as a result of being hit in the eyes with such a laser.”

The officer was wearing special safety glasses and was not injured. The officer identified Mussa McCaskill as the person who allegedly turned a laser on and off a few times.

A laser pointer was found on Mussa McCaskill, who admitted to her actions, the charges said.

Not a cat toy.  One of those high power green lasers with big fucking warnings plastered all over them not to shine them in people’s eyes because it can cause blindness.

May I remind you at this point that there is a protocol against using blinding laser weapons in war.

This wasn’t a college kid with a cat toy.  This was a rioter attempting to maim a police officer with a directed energy weapon.

That deserves a felony charge and a felony conviction.

If a police officer is struck in the eye with a brick and loses vision that is a felony.  It is no different if a police officer is struck in the eye with coherent radiation which destroyed his photoreceptors and he loses vision.

It’s time the courts start handing down convictions for laser blinding that are a serious as the crime is serious.

I hope this girl is convicted and is given the maximum sentence.  Fuck her.
