Is the playing field unequal? I many ways I think it is. When we discriminate each other we shift from equality to inequality. When some people have advantages others do not we create hierarchies.
Some of this is unavoidable. Some of this is unfair. Some of this can be very benign and have little consequence.
But some discrimination can have massive consequences.
Racism
Sexism
Hell, stereotyping itself can have massive consequences depending on what is at stake.
My point in making this episode is to point out discrimination that leads to
MASSIVELY
DIFFERENT
OPPORTUNITY
And one of my favorite examples are tax loopholes.
You have to be able to afford savvy CPAs and lawyers to take advantage of these ‘incentives’. They simply are not available to most of the regular folks.
