Like we we get joy from this food and we take it for granted, especially in America, where we have unlimited amounts of food. If I want anything, I go to the grocery store and they have anything I want. You like curry, you know, Sushi, like you can literally go to your grocery store and get sushi. Is it the best? No, but it's pretty darn good.

Comparatively speaking, think about 200 years ago trying to get sushi in the middle of the country. Like it wouldn't have happened.

100%. Honestly, I think we should all put on the cape, right? I think it's everybody's duty to do your part in whatever small way that is, right? The people part of that is we all have a calling to do something and each person's little contribution in stopping and saying things and raising your hand and not just, oh, well, he's smarter than me. He's been here longer than me.

I'm not going to say anything. No, raise your hand, like voice that concern, bring that thing up, you know, bring, you know, push that agenda or idea ahead because it matters. In the grand scheme of things, it takes us all to challenge, you know, evil prevails when good men do nothing, right? It's really that simple of we have to stand up and say, no, that's not okay.

Like we have to stand up, even when nobody else in the room is going to agree with you. I don't care. Stand up and say it.

Yep. And my biggest concern with the whole CrowdStrike issue is that I think from what I've seen, I think a lot, and from my experience, a lot of these folks are going to be pointing the finger at CrowdStrike as a company and looking at, hey, this is what you did wrong.

And I'm not saying there is no blame because in this, it's just like, you know, anything there's blame, there's plenty of blame to go around, but that's not going to solve anything. It At the end of the day, yes, there was a misconfiguration. They pushed out something.

But ultimately, the bigger problem was, is that these companies just randomly pushed it across their entire organization without testing. Like in an OT environment, especially in a power plant environment or any of these critical infrastructure, I would never just blind. I don't care if it's been tested 50 times before.

I'm going to push it to one system, make sure that it comes back up, and then I'll push it to a second one and make sure that one comes back up. And then I'll push it to a third one. It's a pain in the butt and it takes longer.

But it's what I'm going to do because I've seen the bad side of this for the past 20 years. This is not the first time I've gotten a blue screen because of an update. So I'm not going to get burned by that again. It won't be the last time either. It won't. And it's not CrowdStrike's fault.
