You have no idea how much fear Jeff Bezos was able to buy with his billions. People were not only told all the awful things that might happen to their jobs if they unionized, they also were given to understand that technology would enable their bosses to know how they'd voted: they would be exposed as disloyal, and if there were firings, the disloyal would be the first to go.
I remember driving up 10th Ave in NYC, bumping something (Onyx maybe?) in my new A4, and a hype truck pulled up along side, heard what I was playing, and asked if I wanted the new DMX joint. The passenger wasn't expecting to see a guy with a big red beard and a shaved head, but he asked if I wanted to hear the new DMX joint, I said sure, and he literally threw the CD through my window.
There was a time over at Balloon Juice when "socialism" was banned because "cialis" was an embedded string and a naughty word because there was so much boner pill spam out there.
Which is why the Sherman tank ran rings around the German tanks in WWII..... Sure, one-on-one, the Germans called the Shermans "Ronsons", because they lit up on the first strike. But when you can get more Shermans into the field....

Make sure it's a big circle, and tell them the exit's in the corner.
