Cool but I don't need a goldbug conspiracy theorists' website for that.

I am so confused, what is that website even trying to say!? Is it just a collection of graphs that seem to have some important turning point around 1971? Why choose that year in particular, you could do it for any other year? This seems like a lamer non-automated version of https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

In 1971, USA dropped gold standard and it has given rise to all kinds of conspiracy theories.
