To do politics or not do politics? Tech startups are divided

I think what I would take from it is that it all though the laws are the same, they do not effect each person in the same way.

How likely is it for the rich to sleep I under a bridge, beg or steal bread? Those are crimes to punish those too poor to be able to afford anything else.

Or to put it another way, it’s a crime to be poor.

Isn't that just to say that murder is a crime both for the pacifist and the psycopath? If society deems something to be illegal it is illegal for both those who would never do it and those who could gain from doing it. That is fundamental for all laws.

There is law and there is justice.

To my mind that is what I am advocating for, a law must apply universally to be just.

There is social justice and there are social laws.
