          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
