Equally-applied law sustains inequity.

Any sort of bettering that is not globally experienced equally sustains inequity. To go to an absurd place the improvements I made to my garden this year sustain inequity since I now have and enjoy them and others do not, but they would if I had donated the same amount of time to a community garden. That alone should not be a compelling reason to act.

Inequity is a natural state.

Should discrimination be applied to achieve "equity"?

If so, how is that fair to those being discriminated against?

Inequality sustained or increased by the law of man is entirely artificial.

Discrimination has long been applied to achieve inequality. I'm willing to try the opposite as a countermeasure.
