One could argue that a management shooting employees that wanted to organize
or strike has resulted in our current internet...
This is the logic:
Andrew Carnegie hired Pilkington guards to control or suppress a labor
uprising. Can't remember if it was a strike or organizing activities. One
of the Pilkington guys shot and killed one of Carnegies employees.
He was wracked with guilt for the rest of his life and attempted to atone
for the act by building many free libraries across the nation. those
libraries undoubtedly were critical in the launching of careers of many in
science and industry. Probably some NASA guys in there.
So, shoot an employee and get men on the moon, which led to the internet.
Simple.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely... It goes both
ways and always will.. But rarely have union employees had crews
shoot management.. Back in the 1910-1920 era, that was _not_ true the
other way around... Now there were cases of unions shooting their OWN
people to get non-unionized groups to unionize...
