A relative of mine lived and worked in the US for Oppenheimer Funds in the 1990's and they had their own datacenters all over the US, multiple redundancy for weather or war. But every millionaire feels entitled to be a billionaire now, so all of that cost was rolled into a single point of cloud failure.

Reminds me of a great Onion tagline:

"Plowshare hastily beaten back into sword."
