My gears are grinding painfully today, the reason for that is I could not find any special Icarus oil that I need.
Today we live , in an Age of Information, where any information can and should be stored online. The idea is that when all the information is publicly displayed for the common benefit of all. Info like what each store has, supplies and inventories of factories and wholesalers, is knowledge that can be used for common benefit.
Marketers know this, they use all this information to deliver their products efficiently, deliver to consumers what they need and when they need it. Which is all great they actually provide a public service.
The reason my gears are grinding is because they guard this info like hell-hounds. Managers and Marketer hold this info as a trade secret, withholding public benefit. Wallmart has done some progress in this by divulging some of their info to their suppliers, but still has a long way to go.
I believe lots of information should be public knowledge where we the people can benefit overall.
