What will become of the new DC generator stored in the garage, the
porta-potty, the water purifier and the freeze-dried beef and canned wheat?
A few who feared Y2K may have bought a remote cabin retreat with a garden
plot, or left good jobs to avoid expected inter city ethnic catastrophe.
We wish them well, they are not the first.
For most, Y2K will simply be a memory and a useful dry run in
self-preparedness. The biggest beneficiaries will be those who sold stuff
and bad advice. The most surprised people may be retailers with a
no-questions-asked return policy, for it is likely their parking lots and
return lines will be very busy indeed. There may actually be a serious Y2K
retail backlash from reverse sales when stuff gets returned and the family
decides to eat up the stored spam and canned stew, however reluctantly,
reducing their shopping needs for a few months. >>
What's the big deal? I used to live in Utah, and most devout LDS folks have
a one to two year supply of food stores and the means to live without all mod
cons. It was one of the most admirable things about them. It took a lot of
careful study, strict economy and planning to achieve this. It might be a
good thing for everyone who has a family to consider keeping this particular
custom. Prudy
