While I think you're right re:data (got my up vote for that!), Safeway club card is a bad example- 1) it's basket-wide and 2) almost everyone uses it. SW CC is good old fashioned price discrimination, which is designed to capture producer s

Ok I agree with your point but bad example: America did not storm the embassy but did forcibly intern thousands of Japanese Americans in concentration camps. Also- its important to note a few things: 1) the embassy storming was carried out
