greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Somebody hotlink this latest survey in chart form from Y2K center in D.C. please. http://www.y2kcenter.org/planning/reportcards/index.html

Would someone mind explain again how you hotlink? Thanks. Oakland is billed as a "model city in Y2K preparation". 60 minutes was supposed to go on site to film their awareness campaign. They never went, from what I heard.

I've been seeing everywhere that Boston and Dallas are 100% Y2K compliant. Now I learn that Boston has earned a "D" rating from the Y2kCenter!

Last month, in a very non-publicised meeting with John Koskinen, Mayor Meninno said that preparing wasn't necessary. Koskinen said to prep for 3 days.

Lies, lies and more lies!

Wish this report card was as good as it looks. Any city that answered yes to questions 3.3 and 3.4 in the Healthcare section is flat lying through its teeth! Does anyone really think there is a single city in the country that can guarantee cash flow to medical "institutions" (providers) if Medicare, Medicaid and private health insurers cannot? 30 day supply of medicines? While wholesalers may order monthly from manufacturers it's like buying milk. You buy (order) milk when your jug is low not full. Sorry, this is crap.

Dallas only gets a "C". Makes ya wonder doesn't it?

Recall that a 'C' grade means that they will be done sometime in 2001 or 2002.

Sounds like an 'F' to me!!!
