Remember the petulant little asshole, err, budding textile magnate’s run for Mike Lindell’s My Pillow business? We featured it here: https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=110210<\/a>. Lindell is dealing with fallout from his support of Trump during the last election, but now at least can allay any fears of competition from Hogg’s progressive start-up. How so? Easy- little David is simply too busy to give his potential business the attention it deserves. BY MATT MARGOLIS<\/strong><\/p>\n The writing has been on the wall for months, and I suppose David Hogg finally decided to read it because the 20-year-old activist who sought out to prove that \u201cprogressives can make a better pillow, run a better business and help make the world a better place while doing it\u201d has decided to leave his start-up competitor to Mike Lindell\u2019s MyPillow.<\/p>\n \u201cA couple weeks ago, a very spontaneous interaction over Twitter between me and William LeGate led to us trying to start a progressive pillow company,\u201d he said, though actually it was a couple of months ago. \u201cThe goal was and still is to create a great pillow that is sustainably produced in domestic unionized factories and have a percentage of those profits benefit progressive social causes. We were met with immediate and overwhelming support. But I soon realized that given my activism, schoolwork, and family commitments, I could not give 100% to being a full time co-founder at Good Pillow.\u201d<\/p>\n Though, as it was clear to anyone who was paying attention as Hogg tried to launch his pillow company, the endeavor was plagued from the start, even though Hogg seemingly gave it all his attention. He made public pleas for ideas and suggestions that felt more like desperate cries for help than legitimate crowdsourcing. Hogg\u2019s partner made a public appeal for a \u201ctop tier\u201d graphic designer to design the company\u2019s logo. He offered a mere $200 and demanded the logo in less than two hours so it could be featured in The Washington Post\u2018s feature story, which was published February 9.<\/p>\n It was like being forced to watch a train wreck, but the media gave the struggling company a ton of free publicity\u2014publicity most companies, particularly start-ups, could only dream about.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Surprised it took as long as it did for Hogg to throw in the towel.
