The systematic failure is on:

- people using us-east-1 when it has been shown to be the most problematic AWS region

- companies building shitty applications and devices that require the cloud to function and not considering what happens when the cloud/internet is down

- people assuming the cloud can't/won't go down or have issues between the end user and the server

These types of events will continue to happen, so for the love of god stop using us-east-1
