Founder of the "My Pillow" company. He drank deep from Trump's bullshit conspiracy theories and got in severe legal trouble because of it. Severely fucked his own company because of his idiotic antics.
Too long to nutshell the entire guy's life on Imgur, but this is from his deposition for the defamation suit from an employee of that Dominion voting machine company he claims rigged the 2020 election. Which is suing him separately.
So this is that guy's (the Director of Product Strategy for Dominion) lawyer hearing Lindell explain away using his status as a public figure to spin a tale out of thin air - to sic his followers on Coomer and dox his family, death threats, etc.
I've read the transcript to this, never knew there was a video! fuck that is better than my imagination. "Lumpy pillow? fuck you. eat a big bag of dicks" -be more comfy than your lumpyass pillow *flips table*
It's been a wild ride, people might forget Lindell running around D.C. with printed out plans for martial law. That crazy whiteboard with every right-wing conspiracy imaginable all connected and leading to Trump. He needs help.
Silicosis is rampant these days amongst the men (usually) working at making granite countertops for high end kitchens. This artist would do well to heed their experience and use a mask. He’s protecting his ears but not his lungs.
It's endemic for rock blasters and drillers, especially above ground as there is less ground water binding the dust. I live in Norway etter pretty much ALL bedrock has quartz, but still you have to fight people to get them to use breathing protection or a proper vacuum collection system on the drill rig
My Father in Law passed a couple years ago, had some nasty lung issues which we think was related to 40 years of cutting trees. His last few years were basically like slow drowning, tied to an O2 canister.
Marble is calcium carbonate CaCO₃ so technically not silicosis (which is solely caused by silica dust), but chalicosis or COPD from dust inhalation can get you anyway. — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalicosis https://en.w">alicosis">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalicosis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_obstructive_pulmonary_disease
Thank you for the correction. As an Emergency Physician, my focus was always, “Don’t get rocks in your lungs” and the distinctions really don’t matter.
Nope. I have yet to see anyone in the trade wear a mask, whether it be marble sculpting or making kitchen countertops. I've spent 5 years in clouds of dust where I could barely see what I was doing. I guess I can only hope that I didn't fuck myself up too badly.
Stonemason! Yup, it’s rare for people to wear masks. Construction sites have gotten better here in the U.K., with most companies now requiring you to do ticket training for how to safely fit a mask and wear one when making cement/lime mortar in the last 6 or 7 years (before that? No masks even for that). For the more monumental masonry side like this? People sometimes wear them indoors. But for some reason most people seem to think being outside means you don’t need a respirator
Look I may dislike Mike Lindell but I really like my My Pillow (bought before any politics stuff, which is dumb I need to clarify about a pillow but...)
From what I read he has a few different models and apparently the highest cost ones are not horrible but he does sketchy business practices like uses photos of the nice ones online but sends the cheap ones. And tons of other consumer complaints you can check out on the BBB (Better Business Borough) I tried one in a mall a decade ago and it just seemed like a low quality pillow and in general pillows with fill like his get very lumpy especially if you have a heavy head like I do. Lindell sucks.
I love how angry he gets about "lumpy pillows". I have a shredded memory foam pillow, not from his company but the same thing, and it IS lumpy sometimes, just as a result of the filler material. The material moves around and needs to be adjusted once in a while. I quite like my lumpy pillow, but I want to prank call this guy every day about lumpy pillows just to annoy him.

If it were a pillow, you can tell by the indentation that it's way too soft. I love that irony.

My neighbor died from pneumoconiosis from working in a mill. It was not a nice death. Always protect your lungs, you don't want to be drowning in air.

And since it's technically only one lump of stone, much less lumpy than a My Pillow also.

I used one at an Airbnb recently and thought it was far too stiff and just generally uncomfortable for sleeping.
