I agree, George Orwell wrote a parody on your quote "“Objective consideration of contemporary phenomena compels the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account.”
Well I don't know how much you surfed on the web, but following the trail I ended up on a Swiss company's web site that produces luxury massage
armchairs, and I mean "luxury"!
So why wait for the announcement and the unpredictable, think positive and take a look at the chairs, they are available now.
