The labels on this one are horrific.
Reagan told Gorbachev to “tear down the wall”. As you can see, when Russia became free of the Soviet Union, everything went bad, as you can see by the line being … RED.
Once again, Russia is behind all this.
Reagan repealed the graph label law in 1987, making it legal to create graphs with shitty labels so that the free market can decide which ones it wants to look at.
Make shit worse and claim the markets will fix it is indeed peak Reagan.
Wait until you can add Trump to the graph!
Not completely accurate, for some reason a lot of this started in 1971 (feel free to blame Nixon)
Margaret Thatcher was also a cancerous windbag as well, in a long tradition of malefic pustules from the ruling class of those islands.

They voted for Regan overwhelmingly just four years after the Republican Nixon fiasco.
This lets corporate greed off too easy. The politicians are the puppets. The real strings are the money behind them that barely anyone knows their names.
Nixon was a horrible person who supported moderate conservative policies, despite being far right wing himself.
He believed that the way for conservatives to attract young people was to support some progressive policies. That’s why his administration started the EPA, for example. That’s why he was interested in UBI.
Had Nixon and his entire administration not been embroiled in many different major corruption scandals and forced to resign, we’d have a different conservative party today. Who knows if it would have been better, though.
He’s right behind Gandhi and Einstein
We have the same in the UK but it’s Thatcher
Why did those two have to come along at the same time
They were two of the horsemen… I mean horsepeople of apocalypse. Who were the others?
Chaim Weizmann
If Jodie Foster had put it in a little more effort maybe we wouldn’t be dealing with this.
