I recall reports of children being kidnapped from parental custody by medical personnel (open theft) so at least 7.5 if not a full 8. 9 will be done slowly and indirectly so it won't even be seen as a 9 (it's already active depending on who you ask).
We've been hearing level 10 (denial) since the start.
History Channel had a special talking about the Log craze of the 90s. That happened when I was in elementary school.
Events in my lifetime are on the History Channel. I'm officially old now.

I remember when games had both Windows and DOS modes. And you better guess the right IRQs during setup or things wouldn't work quite right.
Empty Shelves: The Noxious Politics Behind a Canadian School Board’s Massive Book Purge
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been re-written, every picture has been re-painted, every statue and street and building have been re-named, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."
-- George Orwell, 1984

Have a Christmas song that isn't just a remix of Jingle Bells:
Remember when merchants gave a discount for using cash because that didn't have transaction fees? Let's bring that back.
IIRC, in North America the merchant must accept any form of legal tender when it is for purposes of paying off a debt (e.g. I'm at a restaurant and I've eaten the food prior to paying).
If no debt is present the merchant can accept or deny any form of payment at their discretion.
I've known people who will express concern over Digital ID and CBDC only to immediately admit they buy as much as possible on credit card because they like collecting the points.
As a cashier I've also had customers complain about how the store points card is just to track them but they then pay by credit card.
I'm convinced ~90% of people have no idea how anything works.
I managed to get my Mom on XMPP, but the rest of my family would rather cut me out of their life than install an app on their phone.
For the rest on my end I got a VoIP phone number bridged to XMPP from jmp.chat. Less than ideal, but at least we can get a hold of each other when we need to.
