You don't want Equality, you want Equity.

    Pretty sure Mimi wants to bully short people

    Isn't Mimi a short person? Compared to Roy she definitely is.

    Equity is just an attempt to dance around capitalism, equality would be to remove the fence

    If you do that, people are gonna get hit by baseballs. Build a chain link fence people can see through.

    But those are easier to climb and the baseball players might escape. Use 12cm thick clear acrylic with an embedded wire mesh (since baseball players often have baseball bats). They also like to use teamwork sometimes, so that wall needs to be at least 5m tall.

    Can someone fill me in on this. To my knowledge social equity (which is what I presume we are talking about) is basically just equality of outcome, right? Equality is a huge umbrella term (in philosophy of ethics, economics, political philosophy, etc) anyway. But equality of outcome is a lot less capitalist than equality of opportunity, so I would think that social equity would be favorable. But I don't really know where the term even comes from and what nuance and connotations it holds.

    As a 1 foot Z-piece, this resonates with me

    Justice is gonna lead to someone getting conked in the nuts with a baseball. I propose building a chain link fence instead, so people can see through it, but their nuts are still protected.

    someone getting conked in the nuts at a baseball game is going to either produce a society of molemen or some really funny gifs

    or folk taking mitts to the game, maybe that too

    But for the mitts to be effective, you have to pay attention to the game. Do you realise just how boring a game of baseball can be? Even their fights, which initially look like they are going up be incredibly entertaining brawls usually end up just with both teams standing around each other, half looking like they have even less of an idea about what's going on than I do, while the coaches and umpires scream at each other until someone gets kicked out.

    A basis of absolute equality must be established before we can address specific needs.

    Okay but if the taller one gives up their create then they can’t watch. Only one can watch at a time.

    As long as the situation is zero sum the only solution is to auction off the crates to establish who really wants to see the game the most.

    I should probably add that market economies probably work better with universal income, because I think we can all see how rocket doesn’t mean wants it more, for any definition of wanting.

    Shhhhh, you can't bring pesky reality into commie and sjw fantasies. When the evil capitalists and racists are overthrown, obviously extra crates will appear out of thin air and roasted ducks will fall from the sky right into peoples mouths. Trust me bro.™
