YSK The difference between equality, justice and equity. - eviltoast

Why YSK: because what seems like equal situation from surface isn’t always equal opportunity for all. And even when equal measure of help is provided, it might not be equally useful.

          You’re totally right, ideally yes.

          Unfortunately, resources are limited and starting from somewhere is better than not starting at all.

            That’s actually where justice comes in.

            Fixing the system so all people have equal access automatically under the system
