One Quibble with Marxists
Earlier this week, an unnamed professor was espousing the various benefits of communism, and was citing the labor theory of value. For those of you that don't know much about this, it is the idea that a product is worth the labor hours that went into it, so, if something was produced by 40 hours of labor, by ten laborers at ten dollars an hour, the product would theoretically be worth 4,000 dollars as a baseline, with prices adjusted afterwards for supply and demand, as well as rarity of materials involved. The Marxist's problem with this is that the Bossman will end up making far more money than the basic laborers, and therefore we should all erupt in revolt or something. The problem with the rational person is that the Bossman is usually supplying capital to purchase tools/land/develop the means of production, may or may not be the guy who started the whole operation, and is generally in charge of structuring the company. In Marx's theory, Bossman should only be paid as much as one of the workers, despite all his previous contributions, organizational or financial. One cannot just take ten guys out into the desert to start making something without providing finances for tools, or finances for land. More importantly, ten random jackasses getting thrown together for some sort of a common goal doesn't generally work out that well. For example, if I were to get ten friends together and we were to do something like choose a place to eat, the entire group would call into complete and utter pandemonium, we'd all starve, and by the time we got to our eating establishment of choice someone would inevitably not have enough money on them to get food, never mind figuring out what to actually order. If that one Bossman guy were to come along and organize the ten of us, we'd save some significant amount of time, and it would be a much more efficient operation, the people who didn't have money would just get left behind, and by the time we got there, we'd be totally clusterfuck free. Despite this being an asinine example, the organizational flaws of getting ten jackasses in one group demonstrate the key problem with the labor theory of value, kinda show that the capitalist coming along and getting everyone together under one company with some semblance of a plan saves significant amounts of time. It is because of this that he is contributing more to the company than each individual worker, and is thusly paid more, despite all the Marxist's/Angsty teenagers with Che Guevara tshirts' claims. Here is a picture of a cat unicorn fucking a dolphin.

Four Lokos
When four lokos were recently banned in california, I made the decision to run to the corner store and buy 2 cases before the ban took effect. Today, I shall be wandering around the city, potentially making furious blog posts occasionally, getting hellishly drunk off of the taste of anger.

This is for you Mr. Bouchard!
I was reading some fucking posts of some goddamned insane ass downhill ice skating at this blog i follow, and i was damn inspired to post this ridiculous shit.
Holy mother of fuck, look at these assholes go. I nearly just shat myself just watching that shit. It is so over the goddamn top extreme that I can't even begin to comprehend the balls involved with actually bombing that fucking hill. Shit is so fucking ridiculous, they are passing cars goddamnit. Passing cars on skateboards. Video is after the break because it fucks with my formatting.
