This is 100% the lazy approach to creating equity. Instead of investing more to help the kids at the bottom move up, they just cap the top.

- Natsu 3y agoThere's only one equal state, among many states of being. We'll probably never have true equity at all, and if we do it is vanishingly unlikely to last. It's like getting a coin to land on the edge. What we should probably strive for is an environment where you can catch back up if you fall behind as long as you're willing to put in effort. This can be accomplished by helping everyone who is disadvantaged (e.g. poor) equally. This will disproportionately help any group that has been disproportionately harmed for whatever reason, so it's self-correcting over time and only gaps in effort will remain.
