    The units built into the seat backs will serve. And now, with more convenient spacing, it will be much easier to reach the touchscreen. The tray table, which is now jabbing your chest, will be the keyboard.

    Or we could elect a different class of politicians instead of following blind tribalism. Sorry, but all this is self inflicted, and every chance they have, the voters only make it worse.

    I hope you realize the futility of lecturing psychopaths. The choice belongs to the voters. Either they vote for them or not. At the very least let's recognize where the problem is. Hint: The politicians are a mere reflection.

    They are simply one in the same and inseparable. It really makes no difference which department is in charge. Protection of their wealth from the ravaging hoards is the singular goal.

    No, it is not complicated at all. It's a simple 1st Amendment issue. But ever since 1798 free speech in the USA is quite dead.

    The government is bound and dominated by corporate funding ('donations', media promotion, etc.), which will go elsewhere if the state does not play ball. Revolution is a big expense, but not out of reach. The wars in the middle east (and Central/South America) are about business, not any silly ideology, which is just a low wage motivator. Also note where most top level government appointees come from. They are juiced in. It should be pretty obvious who rules overs whom. Granted, the cause is voter disinterest and antipathy, but that doesn't matter. Most everybody is wagging the dog. The government acts as security and hired gun for its financiers. It is truly a servant to specific interests.

    So what if it's theater? It's very effective theater. And there's still no significant downward trend in airline travel, no matter how miserable they try to make it. The bright side is that the screens built into the seats will be much closer and easier to reach.
