But but…everyone knows that a pound of feathers weighs much less than a pound of lead! Use your brian, Moran!
(Lindell Logic)
Exactly my point! (not originally, but now at any rate). Two tons of pillows is much easier to transport than two tons of auto parts.
Shipping two tons of pillows will cost you more, because you will be charged volumetric weight
Every package has a “chargeable” weight and it takes many people by surprise when it’s not even close to actual weight, especially with less-dense packages.
Billable or “chargeable” weight is the larger of gross weight (actual) or volumetric weight. This weight will always be used to determine shipping fees.
It seems like you are trying to use reason, logic and facts in this discussion. Are you in the right thread? You know it is based on ‘thought’ processes of Mike Lindell?
Apologies.
Purple Monkey Dishwasher!
We need a SDMB Board policy by which certain threads can be officially designated as “reason-, logic-, and fact-free zones” in which any appearance of such can be modded, up to and including insta-banning!
Another well-thought-out plan by Mike Lindell.
(His pillows for unvaccinated truckers weren’t allowed in because his truckers were unvaccinated.)
False.
You’ve also got to carry the weight of what you did to those birds.
[bloody discourse, requiring verbose posts and spoiling a simple, aesthetically minimalist smiley]
I periodically wonder if Mike’s children, several of whom are involved in the business, have ever, you know, tried to talk dad out of putting himself in financial and legal jeopardy? Or are they fellow Kool-Aid drinkers? Because while various bankruptcy laws favor business to a large degree, I’m thinking there’s still going to be serious damage, even if, as suggested earlier in thread, major assets (such as the plane, etc) are being hidden from view.
If I was one of those kids, I’d be looking at trying to have the man declared incompetent to manage himself (heck, I’d be framing him with [ or confirming ] his return to drug addiction ) to get him put away in rehab while quietly trying to settle with anyone I could, and simultaneously trying to woo back retailers. But then again, we haven’t yet seen numbers to confirm how much if anything Lindell’s crankery have actually cost MP.
Inquiring minds want to know!
(Side-topic: There are various things you can put into a post to pad it that are invisible to the reader. The one I use is which appears (if at all) as a blank space.)
Well, too bad for him he doesn’t read the Straight Dope. We had the solution, in this very thread, several hours ago. Airlift them!
Send them in the form of actual ducks, that will, upon landing, re-configure themselves into pillows. It’s well known that ducks can shape-shift, much like the Lizard People, so this would be exceedingly simple for them to accomplish.
But I thought MyPillows were made from industrial foam not feathers???
We’re back to dropping turkeys.
That’s OK, because turkeys can fly. Right? Right??
Lindell is going to parachute in with them?
As God is my witness …
I know that’s the line, but shouldn’t it be “With God as my witness…”
Yes, otherwise you’re not really baptized.
