Equality and Equity<\/p>\n
The Kommifornia wildfires have merged an unusual dichotomy.\u00a0 Pete Hegseth caused quite a consternation among leftists senators during his SecDef inquisition.\u00a0 He actually said that he would enforce equality in the armed forces.<\/p>\n
HORRORS!\u00a0 The very thought of such chilled the blood of the leftists. I hope that all reading this are aware of the concept of equality \u2013 that everyone is created equal and treated the same.\u00a0 That everyone has the opportunity to succeed or fail based upon their own merits, work, determination and perseverance.\u00a0 Totally antithetical to marxist tenets.\u00a0\u00a0 Marxist practices include \u201creforming\u201d language to make their version of what they want the citizens hear to be more palatable to their ears.\u00a0 Thus, the term \u201cequity\u201d, what normal people think to be that all people are equal in the eyes of the law. (Eye rolls here.)\u00a0 Or a lack of favoritism toward side or the other.\u00a0 (Snickers are appropriate.) Or the old fashioned idea that it is the difference between the value of an asset and what might be owed on that asset.<\/p>\n
Wrong.<\/p>\n
In marxist language, equity means that everyone gets the same outcome, regardless of where they started.\u00a0 Came from a broken home, went to school in a bad district, learned how do something and built a business? Became successful? Shame on you!\u00a0 You didn’t build that! If you happened to be of a pale complexion you obviously suppressed someone and stole all that success.<\/p>\n
Now look at what Los Angeles has accomplished.\u00a0 Janisse Quinones, director of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (scrimping with the miserly income of $750K) declared that she operates \u201cthrough a lens of equity and social justice.\u201d\u00a0 One might think that equity and social justice might be delegated to a flunky making only a paltry $400K.\u00a0 And that the director might look through a lens of delivering water and power to the citizens. HAH!\u00a0 With full support of the mayor Karen Bass (former US Congress Critter and former member of the marxist domestic terror organization that bombed the US Capitol in 1983) social justice and \u201cequity\u201d was the focus.<\/p>\n
Then the fires started.\u00a0 The fires burned with equality.\u00a0 It didn’t matter if your home was a $650K starter home or a $28M mansion overlooking the Pacific.\u00a0 Palisades, Malibu, all the same.\u00a0 No one had water in the hydrants.\u00a0 The fire treated everyone equally.\u00a0 And when it finished (they’re still burning) the result was equity.\u00a0 All houses were reduced to a pile of smoldering cinders.\u00a0 The burned out husk of a Sub Zero resembled a scorched Whirlpool.\u00a0 The remains of a Lexis or Lincoln had the same scrap value per pound as a Kia or Mazda.<\/p>\n
Exactly what Marxism delivers every time its tried. Destruction, devastation and death.\u00a0 Kommifornia.\u00a0 Marxism perfected.<\/p>\n
