This is pure lack of respect for individuals.
Maybe he is done gaining his wealth for the product.
Maybe whoever is going to purchase these items don't even know about twitter.
Thanks for informing us about the hypocrisy in this world.

I think watching Fox news can actually lower intelligence. I have seen it happen with family members. Maybe that's a rule for all TV viewing.

I've come up with a competing product. It's a pair of pants called Plenty-Of-Pockets and you can store a large laptop computer in them, if you want, along with your bike helmet, bicycle pump and 20 oz stainless steel water bottle and large coffee mug. Oh and you can store a toddler in them too. Who wants a pair?

The US public education system is 28th in the world.It's not a coincidence,smart people are much harder to be controlled by misinformation,so those on the top decided a long time ago that they don't need them.One school after another close down,the number of teachers are decreasing,meanwhile the only thing you see on each tv channels is propaganda.

If Fox News (is) the most-watched cable news network for the 191st consecutive month, then wouldn't it only be logical for a wares peddler to advertise with them because they'd be seen by more people? It makes perfect sense to me.
He might think that the people who buy his vest are gullible, but then wouldn't that make him a damn fool for bringing a product to market that he doesn't believe in?
If he thinks that the people who buy his product are gullible; does that mean that his product doesn't work?
I find that hard to believe, what's so complicated about pockets? Is he implying that he's a con man, do his vests actually not come with any pockets at all?
I'm with kouba01 on this, it does indeed sound like Trump derangement syndrome. Poor feller, I'm sure by the time they publish the next DSM they'll have a pill for that too.
"My friends and family who know me well, know that I am completely transparent. I can not lie. I can not act. I pitched a product that I believed in, and reacted honestly to the heated debate that ensued."
So he believes in his product. Yet if you buy it, that's supposed to mean that you are gullible? If that's not sociopathic behavior, I don't know what is.

I agree corporate controlled media like FOX and CNN is a problem in this country. Its incredible to see how some people and their thoughts are so easily controlled by what the media pumps out. The only thing I don't agree on is the point you made regarding Alex Jones and his supplements. My grandparents were from India and I take Ayurvedic supplements daily. I do not touch pharmaceutical drugs or even Tylenol. I cant even remember the last time I needed to see a doctor. I happen to know quite a bit about different Ayurvedic supplements and their various benefits. The ingredients that Alex has are top quality and work wonders for people. I have tested them on myself. I believe what he is doing is a good thing by making these supplements more available to people who would not normally be aware of their benefits. With that said I prefer sources direct from India when I can get them to be honest.

I never understood the argument against Infowars based solely on the products they sell. The majority of items they promote are just a white labeled version of stuff you'd see in any health foods store and are recommended by a lot of different people in the health space.
Main difference I can see is that some items are marked up quite a bit, but if their audience wants to pay a premium to support them then what's the issue?

Maybe the people your talking about would rather swallow overpriced ineffective pharmaceuticals that offer nothing more than devastating side effects, as opposed to overpriced health supplements that they could actually derive benefit from.

Scott Jordan, owner of ScotteVest.com, and his wife are both lawyers. Scott Jordan presented a similar product in Shark Tank. He started belittling with that same stupid smile to the Sharks on Shark Tank and said to them all that it is their loss if they don't jump on board now.
He came across as an arrogant, spineless prick that ALL Sharks asked him to leave. This guy is a egotistical retard. You really need to see this Shark Tank episode.
He claims that his company has the only patent that allow clothes with secret pockets and that also allows "tunnels" for wired electrical devices to be hidden and concealed.
Mark Cuban called him out said that is NOT a patent and that companies make clothing with pockets in them all the time and having the ability to concealed the wires of electronic devices can be done in so many ways that it would NOT violate this idiot's patent.

Mainstream media is a joke! Viewers watch this garbage as if it is gospel. I am always sickened to see the mindless devotion to mainstream networks such as Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, etc. There is an obvious bias in the reporting and the fact that people don't know this blows my mind. If you are going to watch this crap at least broaden your horizons and tap into some alternative media sources. It is a known fact that cooperate media is aligned with certain entities that are not watching out for the average citizens interests. There has been an agenda by the elites in every society to misconstrue reality and divert attention from the facts. I despise these media outlets and hope that Americans continue to wake up and adjust their viewing habits.

If it was otherwise, we shouldn't need blockchain and stuff because democracy would favor those it intends to: the nation itself. Not a wealthy few.
