From The Guardian

So Affirmative Action is basically dead for college admissions, further dismantling Civil Rights era legislation.

Way to go, SCOTUS. /s

Affirmative action is an opportunity, the opportunity to go to a prestigious college.

It's not equality outcomes.

Equality of outcomes would look like UBI.

@EffectivelyHidden UBI just puts a floor on how far one can financially fall, it improves the minimum possible outcome. It does not provide equality of outcomes. Some UBI recipients will have higher incomes and more wealth than others.

Certainly a better starting place than what we have now.
