There’s a lot going on in that story

We really need the delayed #VultureEmoji

Totally unethical capitalists buy #InstantPot

Close local plant in district that all voted Republican 🙄

Try to sell #MAGA branded crap to bribe Trump

Not called “bribes” because #USpolitics where money = speech 🎤

But Trump Inc. (an extraction industry not a presidency) threatens litigation if it doesn’t control who uses the brand to make the money💰

And no more good old #pyrex from that plant

@DoomsdaysCW
Sad that the Canadian #InstantPot brand grew too fast and got bought by vulture capitalist MAGA supporters

They seem to have backed off before they released any imagery, so there’s no damning pics to go with the stories

Oh, and I wrote to the #InstantPot people and they basically said, “It’s past warranty but a new one”

Which given they’d just tried to release a #MAGA branded version I decided to get a used one for $30 which has worked fine since then

The world will probably never run out of used low-end Instant Pots

@AccordionBruce Boo. That sucks. Things should be made that can be repaired!

So sad one button on my #InstantPot failed so the whole thing seems a loss

They don’t sell replacement panels or whatever would be needed to work around the one failed button

And I don’t know how to open up those flat waterproof bubble keyboards to even look at the failed key

I assume it’s all glued in
