Define equality.

Inequality is an fact of life, someone clever or brave will usually earn more than someone stupid, lazy and cowardly.

 

Lack of opportunity is the real bad guy, give children a good education, a chance for training, then it’s up to them.

You did not have to stop working, there was no temptation, you either qualified for it or you didn’t.

You just had to show what you turned over in March 2020 was 30% less than March 2019, then they gave you the money.

You could not opt for it at the beginning of March as it wasn’t in place then, it only became available at the end of March.

 

Of course if you had a rubbish March 2019 and a decent March 2020 you didn’t qualify.

 

That's wrong, I've done ok in 2019 and 2020, I didn't qualify. I've taken a loan that I will have to pay back.

Part a, I agree, except for nepotism.
Part b, I agree, because of a.

Sure it is, but there is equality and inequality in different contexts. In this instance could you define what the inequality you speak of is, please? Its difficult to argue the toss of we're on a different wavelength. For example you may be highly unintelligent and I may have a below average IQ, that would be an equality would it not? You may earn significantly more then I do, again an inequality.

 

Are these some the inequalities you speak of? If so how would you address these glaring inequalities?  Should you hand over a portion of your hard earned income to me to create an equality in what we earn? Where on earth would be start with an inequality of intellect? Maybe Tesla had a point in that regard, huh? Are you suggesting Eugenics is the answer here?

Fair enough, it's hard here, and I'm sure it's hard there. The two big firms I sub into are all but closed.

You extrapolated "google not working?"
Into "are you suggesting eugenics?"
