## Resource

The closure of Spirit airlines has been met with conspiracies, government intervention, laughter and good riddance. Although there is a cultural push to limit travel by both air and ground, even a conspiracy, the fact is that these conspiracies are not universally true. Safety , cleanliness , genuine customer service , and fighting customers were not merely laughter-points of Spirit; they define much of the airline industry and most ground transportation in the U.S. as well, especially buses. Surveillance , security theater , and rudeness contributes to both conspiracies and an overall cultural issue that is at the root of these problems. The behaviors of government officials and public-service representatives is merely a reflection of the social pool from whence those workers are pulled. Likewise, their behavior is often justified when having to deal with an uncultured public. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
