    Equity is the problem. Replace equity with equality and I’d agree with you.

      Well, that’s a ridiculous take.

      If it was your job to hand out food to people who needed it, and you showed up to town and saw on your left a bunch of starving people on the verge of death desperately needing food and on the right a bunch of fat people sitting at a picnic table, eating tons of food.

      Do you think it would be fair to give them both the same amount of food?

      Yes, it would be equal, but it would not be equitable or moral, and that’s the difference between equality and equity. Equality is nice on paper, but nearly Impossible in an already unequal society.

          Yes, that would be a form of equity, and if people would start seeing money as a tool instead of a real life global high score, we’d be so much better off.
