What Joe Said

 President Biden said yesterday....that we needed to increase federal spending on education....when asked how to END gas shortage in the SE of the US.

Quote: “I think that this shows that I think we have to make a greater investment in education as it relates to being able to train and graduate more people proficient in cybersecurity.” 

If you sit and think about it...it'd be like us spending more money on teaching people how to grow roses....instead of shooting people on the streets of Chicago.

Or it'd be like us teaching the horseshoe business, in order to prevent homelessness.

Or it'd be like giving free WI-FI to prevent teenage assaults.

I spent around ten minutes pondering over this, but it's hard to rationalize what Joe said, and what he meant.  For the CNN crowd....this would require an entire hour of 'splaining', and most viewers would have hit mute by the 5th minute.

The thing about this....off in Russia....some kid probably marginally finished up the ninth-grade and just quit school.....to be a full-time ransom software expert.  He's probably making $100k a month.  

If you 'splained' this to President Biden....he'd probably say we ought to hire that Russian kid for cyber-security.
