[Thanks to Susan for roping me in with this nooze tip.]
“Equity” is the hot buzzword among libs, these days. The word used to mean “the quality of being fair or impartial.” The last impartial liberal died in the Devonian Period. As for fairness–! Do you really need to ask?
“Equity” has become so flexible in its use that it no longer has any meaning. It just sounds nice. It sounds like one of those things you don’t dare be against.
Now you can buy a hip, with-it greeting card that says “Plant Equity, Grow Love” (https://www.redbubble.com/i/greeting-card/Plant-Equity-Grow-Love-by-HilltopHearth/63179394.5MT14). That would be a lovely sentiment if we could ever decipher what it means. You know what happens to words when leftids get their hands on them. Look what they’ve done to “justice.” And “love.”
Speaking of justice, we are told this greeting card is an ideal way to trumpet your “commitment to environmental justice and the power of plants.” [Where are the barf bags?] How is “environmental justice” different from just plain “justice”? And what is the power of plants? Power to do what?
Personally, I would love to be able to plant equity and grow love.
I just wouldn’t buy my seeds from such profoundly dishonest people.
Environmental justice is the latest “thing.” It doesn’t have to mean anything. It just has to make you do whatever the government and the woke mobs (but I repeat myself) want you to do.
I’ve heard ‘equity’ described as a race to the bottom.
Any number of contenders could win that prize.
In the final analysis, it all comes down to how they choose to define equity, justice, or whatever the feel-good word of the day might be. One man’s equity might include the “right” to act harmfully to all. Basically, these words have become meaningless.
For instance, they don’t believe in any “equity” for unborn babies.
