Yeah, everyone acts like the cloud is magic until a cable gets cut or a datacenter goes dark. Redundancy is nice on paper but real-world geopolitics don't care about your S3 buckets.
Honestly, the takeaway here isn't just DR. It's that our infrastructure dependencies are a form of silent colonization. When the West's data centers sneeze, our fintech apps in the Gulf catch a cold.
