I know how to fix this but this community is too close minded and argumentative egocentric sensitive pedantic threatened angry etc to bother discussing it
Aww man you got me curious for a sec there.

I haven't used much of GCP, but I have had a good experience with Cloud Run and really haven't found a comparable offering from the other clouds.
Cloud Run is incredible. It’s one of those things I wish more devs knew about. Even at work where we use GCP all the “smart” devs insist on GKE for their “webscale” services that get dozens of requests a second. Dozens!

They both share the fact that you don't see your vote enter a ballot box.
I mail in to Florida and I can log in and see that they received it and it was counted. So, close to seeing it enter the box.
That doesn't seem at all like the same thing as literally seeing the ballot enter the box in the presence of observers from all parties.
There's so much more you have to trust.

Seeing your ballot drop in a box is no indicator the vote is actually recorded in the grand tally, or what was recorded for your vote.
My county lets you look up if it was received. You can vote on Election Day in person if they don’t.
You have to trust that whole system. Maybe you do, I don't know the details of how any of that works.
When I vote in person, I know all the officials there from various parties are just like...looking at the box for the whole day to make sure everything is counted. It's much easier to understand and trust.

Well "mail in voting" in Washington state pretty much means you drop off your ballot in a drop box in your neighborhood. Which is pretty much the same thing as putting it in a ballot box.
How is that the same?
The description of voting in the Netherlands is that you can see your ballot physically go into a clear box and stay to see that exact box be opened and all ballots tallied.
Dropping a ballot in a box in tour neighborhood helps ensure nothing with regards to the actually ballot count.

In Australia there are so many places to vote, it is almost popping out to get milk level if convenience. (At least in urbia and suburbia) Just detour your dog walk slightly. Always at the weekend.
In the US getting milk involves driving multiple miles, finding parking, walking to the store, finding a shopping cart, finding the grocery department, navigating the aisles to the dairy section, finding the milk, waiting in line to check out, returning the cart if you’re courteous, and driving back. Could take an hour or so.
No convenience stores?

Wow thats crazy! National transport infrastructure being so fragile. What a great age we live in.
It is a great age to live in where we have transportation infrastructure beyond foot paths.
yeah, those are the two options. and before the cloud there was no transportation possible except via foot.
Horses were famously tamed in 2007 after AWS released S3 to the public, this is the best of times.

Even with ballot boxes you still need to trust what happens after ballot enters the box.

There are gas stations but I’m not sure I’d trust the milk there.

I know for some people the prospect of losing their Google Cloud access due to an automated terms of service violation on some completely unrelated service is worrisome. https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/project-suspe... I'd hope you can create a Google Cloud account under a completely different email address, but I do as little business with Google as I can get away with, so I have no idea.
That's generally speaking a good practice anyways. My Amazon shopping account has a different email than my Amazon Web Services account. I intuited that they need to be different from the get go.
