Other examples of redirecting Internet traffic abound, I just saw an opportunity to do the same things with automobile traffic and was laughed at by two IT people in the business.
My feelings were a little bruised but I didn't hold a grudge, I asked the fellows to put their Sci-Fi hats on, and they just could not - their failure, not mine.
Like I said the apology from one of the people there, a psychologist came with a brief description of the Warren proposal.

The Strandlunds believe they're the latest victims of an online issue that landed Expedia in trouble in France and is the subject of a potential class action lawsuit in the U.S. — the travel site allegedly posting hotels that aren't its clients, listing them as "unavailable," then re-directing customers to member properties that pay Expedia a booking fee.

Warren took on the credit cards companies for the consumer, I like her moxy.
Her proposal for "stakeholders" verses "shareholders" based on the German model I like too and want to hear more.
