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

        Even without capitalism, some people still need more help than others, which is what equity is about no?

        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.

          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.
