Correlation is not causation You can use the same graph to suggest that printing money helps to fix serial killings since we're now down to pre-1970s levels Both takes are retarded though
Don’t take it out of context, check https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/
Isn't that whole site a demonstration of the point I made?
Indeed correlation is not causation, but the fact that multiple parameters all started to deteriorate around the same time does suggest that there might be some underlying factors at play. If you think that the Nixon Shock is not the main issue you don't really get the impact money have on society.
Wtf happened in 1715
World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.
Better record tracking and actually being able to report and find the serial killers?
DNA forensics didn't exist before the 70s, therefore police couldn't associate crimes to the same killer.
It was two years after 1969 when we had the moon landing. Space demons clung to the astronauts as they came back to earth and made people go crazy and killing others. Real talk: the sexual revolution very well may have something to do with this. Also, the right half of that graph would be more or less level if we include pre-birth infanticide.
