I took my daughter to buy a car today. The dealership could not run credit report due to AWS outage. She called the bank, they could not approve a large transaction because of the AWS outage. We went to the DMV, they were able to get her a replacement car title, but also mentioned some systems were down. Back to the dealership where they could not do the credit application to buy the car.

In a completely unrelated note, I think I have some ideas for disrupting Capitalism...

lol...I work in sales. All day, everyone who wanted to buy something had their card declined because AWS is our payment processor's hookup. My company lost many thousands of sales today. I repeat - lol.

@rouxdoo @rasterweb oddly, Amazon's stock went up $3.45 a share yesterday as their main profit generator took a big shit and opened them up to untold lawsuits.

@the_turtle @rouxdoo Do you think people were like "Wow, AWS is crucial and everything relies on it... invest!"

@rasterweb @rouxdoo probably AI-driven computer trading. It went up the next day too.
