I know plenty people who are currently homeless in Europe originally lost their job following the 2008 crash.

It destroyed the budget of scientific research in Spain. I was a Spanish researcher then. There was a point when universities couldn’t pay us the grant that the government had already assigned to us. Some of my peers missed rent. I heard stories of Spanish PhD. students stranded all over the world. I quit research (my dream job at the time) because of this crisis and never came back to it.
Happy you felt nothing in your happy little bubble.

Ha! Jokes on you. My state is so poor it was the least affected by the 2008 crisis. Wait, that still sucks, only more…

I don’t think 2008 really had a significant effect in Australia. I don’t remember hearing much about it.
