"...we can say for sure at least is that the subject is hotly contested."
Browsing through it again, I got an impression it is not that hotly contested. It is hotly commented on, for sure. Not many comments being against these reviews.

erik_squires OP
After 24 hours, this thread has received about 100 replies, so what we can say for sure at least is that the subject is hotly contested.

Best,

I used to subscribe to Playboy magazine. I enjoyed looking at the pretty women much more than the less attractive ones although I knew I could never afford them.
Erik,
You stirred 2 nests with one post. The diminishing return battle and the recently introduced pandemic war of opening up society. Individuals touting freedom and capitalistic winners against worry warts who espouse luxury is a sin. Broad strokes but lot of skirmishes and skinned knees to be had in between.Β  Not to mention our deluded ringmaster raising the temperature.Β
