I’ve come to the conclusion that the tech guys running the government computer systems don’t have a clue about running secure computer systems, much less setting up a simple Wi-Fi network for the President of the United States (see our first story). Government computer experts verge on idiocy.
Look how many government servers have been hacked. The vital information about every government worker and everyone who has ever applied for a government job have all been stolen…much of that information can be found on the Internet for anyone to see. And remember the Obama Care computer fiasco? Government computer jockeys and their immediate superiors are morons!
Now we have the President of the United States saying on network television, just before the Super Bowl that he can’t get a decent signal in many places in the White House. That is absurd! Think about it.
I spend a fair amount of time on the campus of the University of Arizona. It is huge…392 acres to be exact. And I can get a secure Wi-Fi signal anywhere I go on campus. The UofA is a whole lot bigger than the White House. Maybe we should send some of the undergrads in the computer school who run the UofA networks to DC to help out our poor President. I bet they would be shocked to see how the system is run.
We trust so much of our lives to the government and most of our most private information is stored in their computer systems. And very few of their tech geniuses know how to run such systems properly. Of course, they are caught up in the bureaucracy also, so their hands may be tied by stupid rules and regulations. So, do you have faith in our government and their bureaucratic nonsense? Just moronic.
All right…time for you to take over. So have fun. -JRC
