Smooshing events together is normal when you look back at the past, but those of us who witnessed 9/11 as adults know that "Never forget" came later. The immediate response was that if you stay home and hide, the "terrists" win. The big message was, "Act normal, keep shopping!" Same as with COVID. "Don't let this affect your spending habits" is always the oligarchy's reassuring response to bad news. Don't let this little bump in the road hurt profits. They pulled out the "never forget" card later when they decided to turn a terrorist act by a fringe group into an excuse for more military spending.
