  • Every time there's a thunderstorm, a town or city floods. Infrastructure is not built for the kinds of rain we're seeing now and it used to be so rare it wasn't an issue. Now everyone is scrambling to build water handling systems.

    • Scare away all the best and brightest of the entire world that you brought to your country to give the competitive edge in science, engineering and tech.
    • Make the business climate so uncertain that nobody wants to invest anything in research or build new facilities, except in moving their facilities out of the country
  • Lots of stuff in the news how things could go wrong and it could be the end of civilization. Because of all the scaremongering however there was enough money to go around to fix all critical systems.

    In the end only minor things happened, like a library charging people 100 years of interest on their late fees. It could've been a lot worse. Banks charging 100 years of interest were avoided, no infrastructure went down. But the checks and fixes done were needed. Some computers in production systems would just brick themselves when the date was set to 2000.

    Then after new year came the comments of people complaining that all the money was spent and nothing happened.

  • Like how Hamas always had hostages and the IDF only had prisoners but they were functionally the same and treatment of IDF prisoners included torture and rape.

    The article says it's because of aggressive propaganda campaign from Israel. Some also say because of western islamophobia. Maybe financial interests?
