My dad is a tech in the telecommunications industry. We basically didn’t see him for all of 1999. The fact that nothing happened is because of people working their assess off.

My dad had to stay in his office with a satellite phone over new years in case shit hit the fan.

My dad still believes the entire Y2K problem was a scam. How do I convince him?

Well my dad does too and he worked his ass off to prevent it. Baby boomers are just stupid as shit, there’s not really much you can do.
