Y2K was a fat nothingburger, because of all the fuss. Millions of person-years and $300 billion were spent to avert disaster - and it worked! But then all anyone ever sees is that nothing went wrong, and they assume it was nothing to begi

Sure, airport security is annoying. But it was effective in bringing down the rate of hijackings, which are extremely rare in the US these days. 9/11 was over 20 years ago now, and I can't recall any US airliner being hijacked sin

It's not really that much of an outlier -- AAPL has had pretty ridiculous growth in each of the previous 4-year periods this century as well. 2021-12-28 $179.29 4.19x 2017-12-28 $ 42.77 2.14x 2013-12-28 $ 20.0
