>>With only a week to go, the silence is deafening.<< More and more things are filtering out but not being mass reported. This will have effect on economy esp. if overseas ends up being bad. The full court press to avoid panic was very successful-- thank goodness. I am also confident that many many people who have scoffed all year have quietly put away a few things which has helped avoid panic as everyone no matter how much or little prepared is in a "bring it on-lets get it over with either way" mind set at this point. The only potential panic I see is last day or two with probable gasoline and possible some grocery rush. >>Why are you so concerned about Jan 1? Each key date in 1999 passed with no problems.<< I have always been told by my sources that the so called key dates were always a long shot and that no one would know until rollover and the days following. I warn everyone not to get overconfident just because disaster don't strike 1-1-2000. I think Koskinen said it best-- after 3 days we should have handle on USA and 2-3 weeks the world situation and have an idea of impact. I have thought for very long time this whole thing had only 3 scenarios. The 3 day storm was always non-sense. 1- going to be either very minor and end up a non-event 2- very very serious as the domino scenarios of interconnected globalism crashes down on us. economic big trouble 3- infrastructure failures and some of the worst case scenarios unfolding. I think #2 is almost certain. >>CK has obviously been convinced that there will be no problems worth reporting since she has not posted here in months.<< WRONG - Long ago she tired of the fighting and being scoffed at.
