@robertgraham I think the disconnect is because it was a white nationalist rally and advertised as such, and it defies belief that someone is trying to suggest in good faith that "good people" would nonetheless go to such a thing and march shoulder to shoulder with white supremacists and nazis

Not sure if this is actually accurate but it’s definitely a scenario you might encounter if you believe your services will be highly reliable or if your fetch lib has a default retry. Folks always warn against over engineering simple stuff but this is a case where you’d want it
