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.

    Countries such as South Korea, Italy, and Russia invested little to nothing in Y2K remediation,yet had the same negligible Y2K problems as countries that spent enormous sums of money. Western countries anticipated such severe problems in Russia that many issued travel advisories and evacuated non-essential staff.

    International Data Corporation estimated that the US might have wasted $40 billion.

    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?
