  1. I believe you’re wrong, Rob. Widespread use of antibiotics leads to the evolution of antibiotic resistant strains. And if you get infected by an antibiotic resistant strain, you get no special credit for not having used antibiotics before. It will be just as resistant to antibiotics in your body as anyone else’s.

    everytime ive ever been prescribed antibiotics i usually just lie and say ill take them but then throw them out. it’s not good to take them too much. if there ever really is a super bug that comes out, or something really bad goes down like hardcore biowarfare, those people who took antibiotics for stupid stuff aren’t going to survive.

    That’s not really how things work.

  3. “Lots of GO bonds insured. Many are etm/pref and backed by US treasuries.”

    Wait, bonds that have been defeased and are now backed by treasuries can be bought at discount because of what people are saying about the future of the muni market? That rules! They’re backed by treasuries but have likely been defesased at much higher rate! Can you pick just these bonds up – or do they have to be part of a larger pool?!?! Tell me how and I ‘m in!
