Then you get a rich person starting at the finish line.

I didn't have any outside* help and started in a garage**

* my uncle gave me a few hundred thousand starting capital and got me in touch with investors. But everyone has access to that if they know how to present themselves.
**as the house of my parents had a second garage that was empty because they parked the second car in the driveway

❌ Equality ✔️ Equity

[–] [email protected] 4 points 57 minutes ago

Sometimes you want equality and sometimes equity is preferred. I want equality when it cones to access to necessities. I want equity when it comes to access to opportunity.

She also has a kid on each arm. He just passed them off to some wife/nanny.

He passed them to the same mom who competes this race against him. then once he wins the prize, he tells her to pay her equal share

What, no, that would be cruel! He rakes in thousands then magnanimously hands her the pre-agreed minimal wage for taking care of his kids. Isn't the trickle-down effect beautiful? 🥹

You know, women aren't forced to have kids.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 hour ago

Of course not. This is a highly simplified scenario based on what would be typical: brown vs. white, woman vs. man, poor vs rich etc.

You know, having children should not disadvantage you in society irrespective of gender. As you are contributing to the maintenance of society it should actually be rewarded.

Sure. In a perfect world.

He cannot complete the race if he cannot move. He is nearer to you than the finish line or the nearest obstacle. They attached a ~~mace~~flail to your leg. Perhaps today is a good day...

A mace is a club with a heavy end. What she's got there is a flail.

If the hurdles inconvenience him he can always stack up some corpses and use them as stairs
