    The problem with equity is that we live under a government in which doesn’t give a rats ass about providing boxes in the first place and so rather chooses the appeasement route that takes the least amount of effort.
    They don’t actually want to do anything, just appear like are.

      So that makes it a continuing goal and imperfect solution that we should continue to improve while working on the much bigger and longer problem of taking down the fence.

        Yes, it’s implementation is imperfect.
        If equity focused on providing necessary supports in the first place rather than taking shortcuts, the fence would’ve already been down by now.

        Please, note that I’m neither “right” or “left”. I hold beliefs that fall on either end as well a neither.
        I’m mearly a rights advocate that looks for the truth & most effective solution and in doing so, I believe we must look at the shortcomings of the supposed solution to patch out the jank so it can actually be a solution rather than the illusion of one.
        People often look at the solution their side proposes through rose colored glasses and solutions proposed by the opposition through a circus mirror. As is the nature of the “us vs. them” mindset the vast majority of people take when anything political is discussed.
