Nah, the crash was well underway by the time Obama took office. The Troubled Asset Relief Program (the bailouts) was Bush Jr’s for example and Obama’s first action was the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. (The stimulus packages)

Here’s What to Know. | Medical experts have warned that ending fluoridation will have negative consequences for oral health.English6·19 days agoPlaces that don’t fluoride are their water add it to their salt, much like America does with iodine.
kbotc@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Pros/cons to legalize marijuana in a countryEnglish31·23 days agoEh, I don’t know anyone who managed to get themselves to Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome without legalization. Easier access to high quality highly concentrated doses has been increasing prevalence.
If it’s the 1990 cosmic brownie, then yes. Modern day? Nah bro.

They needed to get them on record supporting a horribly unpopular position so they could use it in the midterms. You’ll see a ton of votes that go nowhere like this that are just fodder for election bids.
kbotc@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The DEA says 114 immigrants in the U.S. illegally were arrested at a Colorado nightclubEnglish13·1 month agoIt was a warehouse, and they basically just found a place where Venezuelans partied. From what I remember they basically got no charges out of this raid and it blew up a DEA investigation that had been running for awhile.

I don’t want to disagree with your experience but I did want to inquire if are you in the wealthy areas during the morning commute times for their work? Most of the bikers I see in Denver are either retired MAMILs heading to the greenway trails for a 40-60 mile exercise ride or the health conscious tech/finance bros who are heading to gym then work at 6-7 AM. Then you get the next batch of wealthy dads on their $5-10k minivan-esque cargo bikes at 7:30-8 AM, then it goes dead until the evening commute. At the end of the day you then get the group rides like critical mass rolling through. The wealthy/poor divide on bikes is always interesting: If you’re poor it’s seen as “Broke ass can’t even afford a car” but the rich treat it like the people in the 2000s treated owning a Prius, and the people who show up to the city council meetings treat it as such.
