Social Responsibility & Economic Efficiency

Arrow poses two initial points in his article; even if we recognize market can’t handle it, the company must be vigorous and while market will achieve efficiency it usually has/will have an uneven balance.

Arrow definesefficiencyas that no person can be better off w/o making someone else workse off.

He also definesextreme inequalityas 50% of the world having everything and the other 50% having nothing- making one person better offhasto make someone else worse off.

*There are costs that fall outside of producers and consumers.

Arrow defines product safetyas you know far less of what you’re buying than what the producer knows. There is also a gap between the knowledge, therefore both parties are not equally informed.

A postcard I was sent in 7th grade from my “boyfriend” at the time. He went to Japan for the summer as an exchange student and sent me some great stuff back.

Isn’t that the truth.


INTERVIEWER: Give me one of your purely satisfying mean moments. TINA FEY: The first thing that comes to mind is a more recent one, when Amy Poehler and I were in the airport last week in Toronto and we were getting hassled by this middle-aged businessman who was doing that thing that middle-aged businessmen do, being rude. And then Amy, in the middle of the airport, screamed, “Fuck you, you fuckin’ dick, you fuckin’ rich asshole.” And it was so satisfying—it was immediate release. She would probably be mortified that I told you. (x)

‘Every Man is My Enemy’ art of Skinner

New Book: Skinner “Every Man Is My Enemy”
Friday January 27, 2012

SKINNER-COVER

“Our good friend and killer artist, Sacramento-based Skinner, just released a new book through Gingko Press and Zerofriends, Every Man Is My Enemy. Besides the great collection of works in the book, there is an incredible quote from Skinner’s high school art teacher, Larry Alberts: “Skinner is a psychopathic psycho, that’s the worst kind you know…”. That is a compliment. You know the work, Skinner is loud, bright, extremely detailed, and some of the most insanely composed demons/monsters/creatures you will see. Psycbo good.”
