For the record I didn't prepare for Y2K or even the bird flu when they kept saying it's coming. But sh*t how many signs do you need to see that the economy is going down? I would give anything to see you guys that make fun when things get down right ugly.
After the Depression fails to come, what will Doomers "doom" about next?
The list is endless.
At 43 years old, this is my umpteenth financial/economic crisis.
I have lived through Japan being the primary economic threat and the switch to China. I am guessing it will eventually be Fiji or Bhutan.
I remember in the 70s when the new Ice Age was coming. Now I am told that soon enough I can have a coconut grove on my Maryland property. Or it will look like the Sahara. I cannot recall which.
Oh yes, Y2K. I remember computer programmers with PhDs from CalTech admonishing me to buy gold and procure a shotgun for the inevitable chaos as computers, elevators and cars would not read dates. Simple logic dictated that a computer's IQ is null and does not care what date it is. And they didn't.
I remember the Bermuda Triangle and how most people ignored that it was and is one of the most traveled routes in the world.
People, in essence, simpy have not changed much since a bunch of naysayers told that Italian chap that he'd fall of the edge of the flat earth if he sailed too far. Instead he sailed right through the Bermuda Triangle and back to Spain. Did not stop the nuts from spinning their yarn centuries later.
My vote goes to an apocolyptic battle between the alien entities hiding amongst us and The Men in Black. Those that have had chips implanted in their brains by the alien faction of the government will be activiated into killer assasins. It will doom the world with phaser fire and photon torpedo exchanges, and mind control beams.
Only those wearing specially designed tin foil hats will survive.
The doomers will start prepping for Armageddon, just like they prepped after 9/11 for more terrorist attacks with plastic on their windows, stockpiled food and fuel for Y2K, and grabbed as many gas masks as they could during the SARS scare.
