and marked the point for most kids that nothing was ever going to be good again!

no that was 2008

for those kids it was, for these kids now its covid, and for the next kids it'll be their whole state burning down or country flooding or when all the crops fail or it just kind of stops rainingjoker-shopping

I think most of the economic woes of the present are still largely results of 2008 and austerity

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 but 08 is largely why no one can afford a house which is definitely an important aspect of their future lives even if no one remembers it.

I getcha, I just don't think that being the cause of their frustrations will be visible anymore except to the politically educated, I think the true origins will be obfuscated, not arguing about its importance at all :)

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
