Equality is fine. Equity is the material version, in which the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe and saw. /old reference

Biden said, "It’s about equity and equality. It’s about decency. It’s about the constitution. And we have never walked away from trying to require equity for everyone, equality for the whole of America."

A classic lefty statement......saying that made Biden "feel real good about himself."

Always appreciate any reference to “The Trees”, as applicable in my 1978 debate on the Bakke v University of California Regents as it is when discussing ‘equity’ today, sadly.

For a three man band Rush really rocked!

Silly me. I always thought equity was what remained after substracting your liabilities from your assets.

Or the legend of King Procrustes, who had one bed for all guests, and he made sure that the guest fit precisely on that bed: he stretched out the short, and cut the legs off of the tall.

Equity.

There is a book called The Flush Times of Alabama and Mississippi from shortly before the Civil War. There is a funny section about a young man who is trying to become a lawyer so he is being examined but he obviously has not learned enough to pass. He is asked about "equity" and has no idea what it means so tries to fake an answer.
