On the other hand, I've been to a lot of restaurants over the years where there were items on the menu that I could not afford or would never choose to buy. I've seen wine on a menu that cost as much as I paid in rent for a month. Somehow, the existence of these items did not detract from the quality of the food and drink I did order.

On the third hand, I've heard several people comment over the years that TV needed at least one X (3, 4, 5 -- whatever scale you're using) star restaurant. Some have tried to be and some thought they were, but none were really class restaurants. No, they would not be high volume and for folks like me, they would be a very rare treat. But not everyone need be able to afford everything. It's not an insult to me or anyone else that something exists that is beyond my means. That's life.

You seem to have missed the entire point. Oh well, that's life
