"Telescreens are most prominently featured in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four,... They are television and security camera-like devices used by the ruling Party in Oceania to keep its subjects under constant surveillance, thus eliminating the chance of secret conspiracies against Oceania.

Experience on European flag-carrier and private airlines is qualitatively better than US service and amenities, in general and overall.
Surely, you don't propose that, somehow, European workers are less unionized than their American counterparts? I laugh at the thought!
Of course Asian premiere carriers also shame the US - so perhaps unionization is a red-herring, and may not be germane to the argument. But don't let that stop you from your neo-objectivist claims. I understand that they are impervious to empiricism.;-)
