Oh its certainly still a huge factor on material conditions, at least here in the US thats for sure, but I don’t know how big of a blip it will be on the average 17 year olds consciousness in the year 2030, or 2040. 9/11 will still be a big one, and covid definitely will be too (unless its just the first of many many pandemics in a row) I suspect '08 will fade into the background and be memory holed here in the US

yeah at this point we are talking about causes of causes
They won’t remember that because the one in the early 2020s made things even worse
