There's another angle of earlier this year, I was in San Francisco at Future Food Tech and And there was a great conversation around, you know, is it regulated? But also there's the economic side of things. When we look at the idea of a venture, so much technology and software and resources, you look at the idea of investors investing.

And the reality is that most investors, if that's where you're getting the funds for technology, whether it's transparency, traceability, digitization, and of course, you can't talk about those three without talking about the idea of securing that information. They want a short return on investment. They want a short term benefit to their investment.

But we're talking about something that's really more long term. And how do you show that? I mean, how do you show that you didn't have a cyber attack? And it's One of those crazy scenarios where you're trying to justify something before it happens.

And from the finance sector of things, it's hard to be proactive in that sense because you can't really put a dollar amount to it in terms of being proactive and investing into it. Now, after the fact, we can say, oh, this breach ended up costing us $25 million. We'll have to pay that bill. But OK, how come it's so quick to say we'll have to pay that $25 million?

But when you ask for $2 million to be proactive, well, how do we know that's really going to work?

It's so stupid. Well, that's the bodies in the street kind of approach. The idea of, you know, well, we didn't do anything because there was only one death and only 15 states impacted. So, OK, well, so then what's the threshold? How many states had to be impacted? How many businesses had to shut down? How many people had to die or to be in hospital for this to be of concern?

You know, going back to that idea of that multi-generational, you know, the person who owns the family and being responsible to their family, you know, plot of land and the farmer that's there. You know, we saw this during the pandemic, how many families were, how many family farms, excuse me,

During that time, those were families that were essentially not making money at the end of the year. And if anything, they were waiting for government assist programs to help them offset their costs.
