Match up the remedies with the case excerpt.
1. I’m thinking that at work we won’t have everything ready by the new year. I keep telling my boss that it’s going to happen, that the computers are going to not work right but he doesn’t seem to care. I just don’t want to do much for fear that it will all go away in January. (clears throat). I am going to stay inside for a few days and just watch TV.
2. I don’t really care what happens on the 1st of January because I’ve put away a few cases of water and batteries and have food to last for a few weeks. (coughs) I’ll be sleeping probably. I don’t stay up much lately even to read, because of these spots in my eyes. I’ll just watch TV and see what happens.
3. Can you believe that the utilities can just shut down come January 1st? They don’t seem to want to do anything about it and all they think is that they’ll have an insurance company deal with it. Wasn’t it Nixon who let the insurance companies get away with so much? That just means we’ll be paying for it in the long run. (coughs) I’m just so tired from worrying about it all.
4. I really don’t say much about what I think. Most of the time, like with the new millennium coming up, I would rather just go to an all-night concert and dance it away. The more I hear about it the more it depresses me because I don’t think we are going to get by without some problems. But that’s others’ problems. I’ll just be having a good time that night trying to forget that people might be having a problem.
5. I’m not looking forward to this big new year thing. It’s the perfect set-up for the CIA to take more control since they can blame it all on the computer failures. Them and the FBI will use the first week of January to set up monitoring and the politicians with the most money will get the information which will just keep them in power that much longer. My headaches come and go just like someone is turning on radio surveillance equipment around me and make my head throb.
