Big crisis in the country that could probably use more coverage: massive nursing shortages everywhere. They’re burned out. There aren’t enough of them. More than a few younger nurses are bombing drug tests in some states. It’s a critical problem everywhere.

Amen!
The three stages of career development: 1. I can’t wait until I’m important enough to be included in meetings. 2. I feel so important being in these meetings! 3. I will do anything legal, and several illegal things, to avoid these meetings.

>@GovKemp’s campaign swipes at @staceyabrams Star Trek fandom with this mailer hitting Georgia households this week: “Planet Stacey. Boldly going where California and New York have gone before.” #gapol – at Dunwoody, GA
Yes, that was Stacey Abrams with a cameo on Star Trek Discovery as president of United Earth. A proud Star Trek nerd, Abrams has appeared as a guest on fan shows and has talked extensively about how the show shaped her perspective. #gapol

Inflation is at a 40-year high. Prices have skyrocketed. But Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden are set to slap a $739 BILLION tax on America. But @Sen_JoeManchin can stop it. nonewtaxesinarecession.com/

It's tempting to dismiss LAPSUS$ as childish and fame-seeking. That may be true. But everyone in charge of security should know that this level of social engineering to steal access is the new norm. Microsoft's post-mortem on this group is worth reading: microsoft.com/security/blog/…

Gut inclination on the SWIFT news...this increases the potential for cyber attacks against U.S. infrastructure, especially financial institutions. Russia could use cyber attacks as a variation of sanctions. If we can't send money, neither can you.

Good morning except to any security company who is going to use Russia-Ukraine politics to push security products.

The Georgia Public Service Commission keeps watch to ensure we can safely place a call or turn on the lights. @timechols, @GeorgiaPSC is excited about the strides Georgia has made. He shared his insights with @alemzs on the work sill ahead. #gapol stateaffairs.com/GA/134-Tim-…
