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.

    Why is important to see who is “best”? That’s only important in sports, those which are not actually important.

      The comment above was about having the best guitarists. Regardless, why wouldn’t it be important to see who’s best? Why is it better to see who has the most advantages that weren’t earned? The argument for capitalism is that whoever can do the best gets rewarded the most. It’s fundamentally flawed because capitalism promotes creating barriers and ensuring the playing field isn’t even though.

      No matter what the situation, having the best people doing the jobs will create the best outcomes for the most people. In what way is this not desirable?
