2008 was scary, people were losing their homes, prices halved - big firms went out of business

2020 was scary - global pandemic, no vaccine - people out of work

2022 doesn't feel like that - there's inflation but no impending sense of doom

The sense of doom is there in 2022, all right. Or perhaps, just replaced with a resigned shrug, because the ability to effect systemic change as an individual is low.
