Apple shares have fallen by 39.1 percent since Oct. 3, when the stock hit a 52-week high of $233.47 a share. With its market cap down to about $674 billion, those losses are larger than individual value of 496 members of the S&P 500 — including Facebook and J.P. Morgan.”— Apple is just pulling a microsoft and the sooner this clown goes the better. If I am right they will have to redirect to compete with msft sometime in the next three to five years.

Then in the 1930’s victim heads were made to order for around $25.00, which is around $275.02 in today’s economy. By 1952 a head was advertised in The Times for $250, which would be $2,231.36 now. Shrunken heads are a light, high value, commodity money substitute. 😉

  • (FB 1546649481 Timestamp) THE ECONOMICS OF HEADS. OK. Let’s pretend this is a se

    (FB 1546649481 Timestamp) THE ECONOMICS OF HEADS. OK. Let’s pretend this is a serious question rather than “Maybe I can get Doolittle to laugh.” Heads are heavy and expensive. (About ten pounds). Scalps are light and expensive, but easy to fake. Shrunken heads are costly to produce. Skull pyramids are costly to produce. Therefore shrunken heads make an exceptional substitute for a ‘gold standard’. So, buy-in for the franchise, (the number of shares you acquire) can best be paid in shrunken heads. The skull pyramids are just status symbols that demonstrate one’s contribution to the common good. QUIZ For an extra ten points please explain how Inflation can be affected by shrunken-head backed currency, and how inflation can be limited. Thanks. (lolz)
