### Comment:
&gt; It looks like when the 2008 recession starting encroaching people could no longer afford to splurge on blow and deaths dropped as a result. 
  
 The chronology is reversed. The cocaine deaths began decreasing before the Dow Jones. 
  
 PS: Is the Dow Jones index even worthy of being spoken about, by the way?

### REPLY:
Dow Jones is just a really clever scam
