Yeah. It’s Y2K all over again.

Generations of vets have seen this treated seriously by the military, some of us have groaned about how protecting against it, added weight to our radios and equipment.

Y2K was very good to me. I got money for mitigation. I didn't buy TP for over a decade after that, and I still haven't had to buy .22LR of any type.

Y2K was very good for me. I made money off of it, and I saved lots of money because of it.

Just having the .22LR was worth a lot to me. ;)

Y2K is like someone warning of a potential devastating flood people skeptical at first, but after a while they get it and a damn is build, sure enough the flooding rains come, but because the damn was built no real damage is done, so does that mean no damn needed to be built?

Y2K didn’t happen not because it couldn’t, it didn’t happen because business took it serious and at the cost of millions of dollars they had programmers rewrite millions of lines of code.
