Cloud Outage Shuts Down UK Banks Again

Here we go again with the magical cloud, as Google suffered an outage that graciously brought down UK websites and banks, hitting Revolut customers rather hard. Why do we even bother pretending off-site infrastructure is immune to catastrophe when a single hiccup halts everyday banking across the country? One supposedly protects oneself from this misery purely by sitting on one's hands and waiting while Google claims services are recovering. It is the same weary story every single day, leaving support staff to absorb the tears of stranded users.
