Did you read my last line? Henry Ford used to send company men to the houses of his staff to inspect them. Read up on Walter Reuther to see how far that went in history. There were people killed by the company to protect its interests.

Is your claim that this is a good thing for Amazon to do because Henry Ford also did it?
Only if you think I would advocate to shop at the company store, have my hose inspected by strangers then have a private security company threaten my life. The point is that Amazon is doing the same things we have seen large companies do in the past, its not a surprise to me. My lack of surprise however should not be seen as any endorsement.
