No, this is apparently NOT an April Fool's joke. The testimony from the head of DARPA was a week earlier.

So get busy you young people. You all need to get some of these good, high paying jobs.

Best to be a nerd with a high paying job, then a brainless grunt.

This is the sort of time I feel warm and fuzzy inside.

This problem seems bad, but the Yellowstone caldera will fix everything... What better to motivate us into space? The nerd problem will end when everyone wants a physics or(/and) engineering degree to evacuate us off this continent, in order to remain U.S. Americans. I can at least speak for Texans...
