You know, Amazon, for example, years ago I got in a pretty high profile fight with them because I mentioned that they had Amazon delivery drivers and warehouse workers didn't have breaks and had to urinate in bottles. And I tweeted something out and the company tweeted back. You don't actually believe that, do you? And over the next week, so many employees tweeted the bottles they urinate in that they had to come back a week later. (21:34–21:48)
