Nothing will change after covid :)
People always bring up the body count but forget the most important part of 9/11. Property damage. I think the two towers collapsing has more impact on the post 9/11 world than 3000 dying
The difference was that 9/11 was a big, scary event that you could see on the TV. COVID deaths are just numbers & statistics so they're not really "real" in the same way.
Beyond that: the class of said property and its victim. It's not a factory filled with grimy laborers, it's not a warehouse full of sweaty workers, it's not a public housing filled with minority families, it's a swanky hi-tech finance ivory towers filled with the rich and beautiful who have earned their position as the top dogs of the neoliberal world order by their bootstraps. That's why the attack hits the American consciousness hard, because instead of happening to some poor bastards in the savage south, instead it's the symbol of American dream that got hit.
