Why not?  "Never let a crisis go to waste".  This is what generational theory is all about:  the same event can be treated totally differently depending on when it falls in the generational cycle.

Might be fun to reverse course and speculate on what the reaction to the energy crisis and gasoline shortages might be if they occurred in the present time frame.
