Go Magat, Go Broke - Mike Lindell edition
-
I do feel a bit sorry for Lindell, and considerably more sorry for his employees, but he's acted like an idiot. I wonder if he'd assumed Trump would bail him out.
Fair weather friends and all that.

Those 1600 people, whom he reportedly pays a decent wage, may take umbrage to the FAFO comment.
IMO, the size of the award against him was part of the Fuck Trump movement.

Some people practically dance in the street when government employees lose their jobs. I don't see that they are going to suffer any less than those unlucky enough to be caught out by Lindell's stupidity getting involved in gutter politics like that.

Are we going to compare the productivity and worth to society of Lindell's average employee and that of the average government worker?

Sure, lets do it. Personally, I dont think that goverment employees are any more or less lazy/productive than those in the private companies.
As to worth, how do you measure that?

I don't really know what the average government worker is. A soldier? Maybe a government scientist? Margorie Taylor Greene's pool-boy? The guy in charge of paper clip purchases?
I don't suppose you really know the answer to that either.
However, I'm guessing they're all mostly human beings with families and responsibilities, just like Mike Lindell's employees.

I worked in state government for 34 years. It was littered with do-nothing sloths.
And I worked in by far the most efficient part of it.

Just lost 2.3MM in a defamation suit to the Dominion Voting Systems CEO.

Pretty sure someone here posted that either those machines were rigged or that pillow guy was being persecuted. I always figured it was just the poster’s usual coffee and doughnut shop gossip and bluster.
Apparently the courts thought similarly. Ha!

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell defamed the election technology company Smartmatic with false statements that its voting machines helped rig the 2020 presidential election, a federal judge in Minnesota ruled recently.
But US district judge Jeffrey Bryan deferred until future proceedings the question of whether Lindell – one of the country’s most prominent propagators of false claims that the 2020 election was a fraud – acted with the “actual malice” that Smartmatic still needs to prove to collect any damages.
The judge said there are “genuine fact disputes” as to whether Lindell’s statements were made “with knowledge that they were false or made with reckless disregard to their falsity”. He noted that the defense says Lindell has an “unwavering belief” that his statements were truthful….

It seems unlikely that he knew he was wrong.
If you tell a lie long enough (to yourself), it will be believed (by yourself).

That’s true. And controversial subjects are only rarely provable with pure logic and evidence. One can honestly develop high conviction beliefs, but pure undoubted beliefs are just a figment of human psychology that shouldn’t be taken as seriously as the believer takes them. Humans are not truth finding machines, but they are believing machines.
