    I love this inscrutable unhinged website

    So, Jodie Foster's first feature film was produced in 1971 for 1972 release, and so it was a battleground of time travelers who either wanted to impress Jodie Foster or stop people from impressing Jodie Foster which splintered the timeline and we ended up in a bad one.

    Edit: neither side are the good guys, mind you. The good guys with a time machine are creating timelines where Lenin gets a Gundam, not trying to impress/not impress a teenager

    That... doesn't really say anything. It's just a truckload of graphs showing that a lot of stuff around income and quality of life went to shit in 1971.

    It does nothing to explain the why.

    Does it? Because the question seems to be why there is an inflection point specifically in 1971 and not about the nature of capitalism in general.
