That sounds to me like the people who act like Y2K was never a serious threat because it got solved.
They invented the atom bomb during WW2 and dropped it on two cities in Japan to get Japan to give up its stubborn refusal to surrender. Some Japanese soldiers hid in caves and devotedly didn't surrender for decades afterwards.
- raincole 3y agoYes and none of this was the end of humanity. Not even remotely close (until countries started piling up nukes, but that happened after WWII). > Some Japanese soldiers hid in caves and devotedly didn't surrender for decades afterwards. Yes, and they killed several innocent citizens in Phillipines. It was a tragic. In the meanwhile Japan's economics blossomed and average Japanese people enjoyed much better life quality than pre-WWII under a militarism government. If you take a look at the history of China's population, you can hardly tell when WWII happened[1]. Hope this put things in perspective.
