"all but coach"? seriously? hilarious.
"democracy is available to all but the majority"
"wealth is available for all but the middle class and poor"

seat power is not ubiquitous on american, either. it's on every 3rd

in such a seat.
i identified this early on as one of th emajor factors causing this
service to fail.
