David Hogg ‘Progressive’ MyPillow Competitor May Be Defunct Just One Month After Launch
https://www.dailywire.com ^ | • Mar 15, 2021 | Emily Zanotti

Gun control activist David Hogg pledged to launch a “progressive” competitor to MyPillow but just one month after the company’s soft launch, Good Pillow has yet to debut a product and the “Good Pillow” trademark belongs to someone else.

As The Daily Wire reported in February, Hogg intended the company to compete with MyPillow, whose CEO was vocally supportive of former President Donald Trump following his November election loss. Hogg called the effort a “pillow fight ” and even went so far as to recruit a partner, tech entrepreneur William LeGate.

“[William LeGate] and I can and will run a better business and make a better product all with more happy staff than Mike the pillow guy while creating US based Union jobs and helping people,” Hogg tweeted at the time. “This pillow fight is just getting started.”

The goal was lofty. Hogg and LeGate did not simply want to put MyPillow out of business — under the assumption that the market could not support two politically-minded pillow companies — but also Fox News, which airs MyPillow commercials.

“We are considering airing a commercial on Fox News immediately following MyPillow ads… my ad buyer says it is unlikely they’ll let us do that, though, since Fox News relies on MyPillow & if MyPillow goes under, it could also really hurt Fox News,” LeGate tweeted shortly after the pair announced their “launch.”

Excellent point however it is worse for camera Hogg As he never even had a prototype pillow, just said he was going to make a better pillow and got all the idiots and leftists to support him.

He had to quit. He was ingested too many pillows.

The pillow that is actually miles away from your bed when you need it, but later claims it was there.

I’m fairly confident this idiot thought he could send out some tweets, think of some lofty goals, and just assume it would work out because it Made him feel good.

I remember It was him or his business partner begging for a “top-tier” graphic designer to fix their logo with about two hours notice and they be paid like 100 bucks or something like that. That’s when I knew these people were idiots and weren’t really serious.

Not enough people looking for the ideal pillow to bite I guess.

I ordered two pillows from My Pillow, as gifts. They said they were practically swamped with business. I hope so. The people to whom I sent them as gifts were delighted. I chose My Pillow because of the political positions. I intend to encourage enlightened, benevolent people in business whenever I can. Evidently I’m not the only one.

A grift from the beginning, but you can’t swap passionate hard work with vile hate and expect a good business to grow from it.

A line of designer butt plugs would be more to the point.

Leftists realize - the pillow market is the key to control of government. If you lose that to a political opponent, everything in the empire is in jeopardy.

The Romans knew it, The Persians knew it, and now you know it.
