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 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.

I agree with that at some level. Yet there were tons of people saying up to the last minute that the sky was falling. That businesses hadn’t done enough. That we should “prep”, there won’t be food etc. It is the nature of people.
