You forgot Y2K. That was wild.
Ah, yes, the one crisis we managed to avert during our lifetime...
It's not the only one. Ozone Hole has been recovering since the 80s thanks to people who actually listened to scientists.
Well, there have been plenty of potential Covids, that were nipped in the bud, because we had more competent leadership that heeded scientists, and systems in place to catch them early. It's just that when Covid hit we...didn't.
Was it? Other than media overhyping the dangers and saying it’ll end the world, I don’t think it had much of an impact.
Y2K is the perfect example of a crisis averted. There was a major problem that would've crashed computer systems all over the world, potentially bringing down power grids, financial institutions, hospital networks, etc. But the problem was identified well ahead of time and programmers and engineers spent like a full year working to ensure that the problem was fixed and wouldn'timpact anything, so it never became A Problem like the media said it was.
