Whole credit card networks at least regionally have had downtimes. Bank networks have had downtimes (and that for more than an hour). Other payment processors have had outages for weeks: https://www.pymnts.com/news/payment-methods/2016/worldpay-pa...

I mean, I get it, but you are holding companies to a standard that isn't the norm at all. This doesn't excuse Stripe's outage, but your comolaint and armchair advice without even knowing the cause of the issue or that company's internal setup is obviously going to attract downvotes.
