I wasn’t alive for these events and I am possibly missing context. But I just see an inflection point in the 60s and I don’t know if another term from Carter in 1980 would have been enough to turn things around. I also feel like he was a less impactful character than RFK
Carter?

The main turning point was 1971, as referenced by the website (https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/).
Carter I think was the president then, and the main force was that the economy was decoupled from the gold standard
Nah that was Nixon. If RFK had been elected, withdrawn from Vietnam earlier and not been corrupt, things may have gone differently
My brain goofed, I knew that. Thanks for the correction!
It makes me sad the site seems to be pushing crypto. Or maybe it’s that crypto bros keep referencing the event? Chicken and egg? I dunno
