    Yes.

    Remember Y2K? There was sufficient public will to prevent that from being a very destructive crisis. It was averted, so :grillman: assume that there wasn't a crisis to begin with to avert.

    If today's worldwide socio-economic situation had a Y2K, there would likely be violent outrage from :grill-broke: if they were told a bunch of machines had to be turned off, upgraded or adjusted, then turned on again for a few weeks to months, pausing their Disney vacations and their trips to Applebee's. And then Y2K would actually do some serious damage.
