The Y2K mess they were conjecturing would grind most of the world’s computer systems to a halt 1/1/2000 was an insult to us programmer-types from those days. Such a debacle was the equivalent of Clinton yelling, “Fire!” in a crowded theater, to distract from billions of dollars corruptly changing hands. A true debacle as described by the doomsayers would have required the incompetent “expertise” of all those gubmint program managers, systems designers and programmers working with 1993’s Hillarycare elite that they eventually assembled to design and implement 2013’s ZeroCare!

Just wait til some all these poor fools get this message on the days they are sick, feeling horrible, in need of care, and waiting, for HOURS to get through.

Kind of reminds me of the old CHAMPUS we used to have in the military, almost 30 years ago. You’d have to walk up at the crack of dawn and just start calling. You might get through, you might not. Usually you just gave up trying and had to get up even earlier the next day to try to be the FIRST to call in the a.m.
