    Remember when Y2K was going to potentially end the world, but it didn’t thanks to experts working 'round the clock?

    Remember when corporations turned around and got pissy because Y2K was successfully avoided, claiming that it was all a big hoax?

    Remember how it’s now taught in some places that Y2K was a hoax and you can’t trust experts?

    No wonder the world struggled with COVID.

      Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I can see the same thing happening with climate change; say we successfully avert it, you’ll have all the lunatics on saying, “see?? There was nothing to worry about, we stressed and struggled for nothing!!1!”
