Money isn't everything, but it's really hard to run an effective school or cyber security enterprise without money.
Years ago, I learned a peculiar thing about corporate or municipal budgets: sometimes a line item has to be spent or it won't come back next year. So there is often some strong impetus to spend $XXX,XXX -- or else -- and the deadline comes on June 30, and often that is how you arrive at bad spending decisions, because it's "burning a hole in your pocket".
GP is actually understating this; if my budget and revenue is $0, then I cannot run a school or enterprise at all and it will file for bankruptcy and close.
A strawman is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one being discussed. I never said that a budget should be $0 or "without money". That's a reductio ad absurdum.
