   I remember Max Keiser calling this the most revolutionary graph he'd ever seen:

     @kk @anttipeltola The graph is similar to Figure A in this publication published in 2012: https://www.epi.org/publication/ib330-productivity-vs-compensation/#

     @anttipeltola @encthenet
     This is such a striking and fascinating graph — in part because of the way it seems to defy definitive explanation.

     That’s not to say people don’t •think• there are definitive explanations; I’ve heard people confidently state that it’s all due to economic globalization, deregulation, over-regulation, women entering the workforce, tax policy, decline of unions, minimum wage…the list goes on. But I hear no clear, simple consensus.

     @inthehands the real breakaway point is my birthday in Q1 '75 ?

     ... _I'm_ holding down wages for goods-producing workers? this is a terrible timeline.

     @trochee I mean, I think that problem is something we can all relate to

     @inthehands in a Donnie-Darko twist, I will be asked to join the timetraveling proletariat assassin union next year and I will happily agree, creating a closed-loop stub.

     that also puts The Matrix (1999) at farthest point from the two fused ends of the closed loop

     and I think we know where _this_ is going
