## Quote — verbatim

> Cloud is so integral and so invisible in our lives that you and I, we pay a cloud tax like it or not... if you use Netflix, if you use Dropbox, if you use Gmail... 50% of what you pay goes to an invisible tax collector called a cloud.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Recurring quantified claim about consumer exposure to cloud oligopoly pricing.
