    I think that’s the problem with us-east-1: it’s the guinea pig region, so of course it’s going to have the most problems. If you don’t need cutting edge features, you shouldn’t be there.

    I think you can't have it both ways. Either you hire only accredited investors (and personal connections), or the job candidates have no legal way to acquire equity.
