SATIRE IS DEAD
Steve Jobs cracks my shit up. Apparently, he and his family lived in a 1926 mansion, the Jackling House, for about a decade. Jobs loved the property, but the house had so many problems (he called it an "architectural abomination") that he planned to build a new house in its place. Only some historical preservation types were not having that and sued to stop Jobs from demolishing the mansion. California ruled against Jobs several times, and today the California Supreme Court refused to review the case. So Steve Jobs is now offering a total of $450,000 for demolition and debris removal to anyone who will buy, dismantle and move the 1926 mansion to a new home where it can be preserved in all of it's architectural abomination. So he can build the new house Johnny Ives designed for him.
So that's already kind of hilarious, but the really funny shit is what some of the Macheads have to say:
"One of the first things you learn in economics class is that luxury goods are highly elastic... People who's [sic] livelihoods depend on building fancy houses, on the other hand, are providing a highly inelastic product... While Jobs and the courts fight over this house, the true losers are the many workers who were going to be employed to build Steve's multi-million dollar wonder house."
LMFAO.
