Let's say the soft landing assurances regarding Y2k are wrong. It's March 31, 2000, and the situation isn't pretty. Enough things have gone wrong for the public to REALLY notice.

On what would problems be blamed? Y2k?

I don't think so.

My guess is that Y2k problems will be blamed on hackers, and other disruptive forces.

Here, as Cory Hamasaki might say, could be a "clue." http://www.fcw.com/pubs/fcw/1999/0705/fcw-newsy2k-7-5-99.html

Your opinion?

It will be blamed on the evil money hoarders and "survivalists" (us) who hoarded all the supplies and must be "brought to justice" by TPTB.
