Odds ‘n Sods:

I heard about RemedyLink.com, a small pharmaceutical manufacturer produces EDTA suppositories for heavy metal chelation. They offer a 50% discount for folks that identify themselves as SurvivalBlog readers. To get the 50% off, customers will have to phone them, since the web site isn’t set up for that sort of deep discount.

Just a sign of the budget crunch times, or Anarchy, USA? In Multnomah County, Oregon (which includes the city of Portland), the county district attorney said that “low-level crimes” such as shoplifting, trespassing, and disorderly conduct will no longer be prosecuted due to budget cuts. “It is unprecedented”, said Michael Schrunk, District Attorney for Multnomah County for the past 29 years, in a press conference that was held on October 6, 2010. (Thanks to reader C.B. for the heads up.) OBTW, the same has already happened in Contra Costa County, California, and meanwhile in Oakland, California, the police will no longer even respond to many “minor” calls.
