I'm not convinced that because some people cannot afford it, we should forbid it even for those who can. That sounds like "nobody should have well paid jobs because there are poor people" or "nobody should own a nice house because there are people living in shelters". The discourse about "privilege" almost always develops into wanting to cut down privileged people. It should be the contrary: we should want more people to become privileged. Aiming at equality by making everybody's lives worse is what communism has always been doing, and it has never worked. Gerardo
