The article says it began in the 1970s, so I think you’re on to something. Also, the 70s was the decade where people started doing worse rather than better. Economic prospects declined, unions declined (or maybe I’m placing that a decade too early), OPEC happened. Everyone from then on was getting fucked slightly harder and now the system is beginning to collapse completely.
