Any system that:
- is complex,
- is tightly coupled, and
- has catastrophic potential
…can be expected to experience catastrophic failures. AWS, Google Cloud, #Microsoft #Azure check all these boxes.

Monopolies are single points of failure.
@2legged Smart meters suck, but they can't see for certain exactly what is using the power when it detects usage (5W from a toaster or a lamp look the same for example).
