I should've specified. Even after there were a a ton of work put in, doomers existed to the last second. There were doomers who really thought the world was going to end without mentioning the technology aspect of it. These doomers, even after the date passed kept moving up the date and repeated this process.
The streak continues that anyone who uses "doomer" has no fucking clue what they're talking about ..
You deleted your first reply because it was bullshit, then you make a new one to double down on it?
Fuck man, how do you expect to learn anything when the list of shit you need to learn apparently covers everything?
I delete my first comment because I specified what I meant in my reply.
If you don't think doomers existed after the year 2000 then look up "2000 anxiety" and "2000 paranoia".
But if I was really going to double down this would by my response:
Many countries invested little to no money in Y2K and they were fine.
Then I would ask you:
Since you are such an expert on Y2K, what would've happened if the US took the same approach? What exactly would have happened?
