Yeah well, the news media has a bias that it wants implemented.

2018-10-05 12:34:02 UTC  

It sure does.

2018-10-05 12:34:25 UTC  

I'd rather have a fair judge that everyone thinks biased than the other way around.

2018-10-05 12:34:30 UTC  

Agreed.

2018-10-05 12:34:43 UTC  

Well, goodie gum drops.

2018-10-05 12:35:24 UTC  

Unfortunately, the left tends (and has really always tended) towards "win by any means necessary" for some time and has politicized the courts for decades.

2018-10-05 12:35:33 UTC  

And they'll fight over any ground they can.

2018-10-05 12:35:41 UTC  

So they're fighting to control the courts.

2018-10-05 12:35:44 UTC  

I am unsure what the negative outcome is from perceived court bias.

2018-10-05 12:35:51 UTC  

Unrest.

2018-10-05 12:35:55 UTC  

Much of it is is due to accepting equality of outcome.

2018-10-05 12:36:09 UTC  

I think it's actually deeper.

2018-10-05 12:36:10 UTC  

Equality of outcome was not even fair if I was the only one subject to it.

2018-10-05 12:36:28 UTC  

It is due to a belief in "caring for the weak" and being morally justified in everything.

2018-10-05 12:36:29 UTC  

If I did twice as much work than the year prior, I'd expect to get paid twice as much.

2018-10-05 12:36:38 UTC  

you know fellas

2018-10-05 12:36:42 UTC  

My pay does not even have to compare to anyone else's.

2018-10-05 12:36:43 UTC  

sometimes Donald Trump is not that great

2018-10-05 12:36:56 UTC  

"The right sees the left as wrong; the left sees the right as evil."

2018-10-05 12:37:07 UTC  

Equality of outcome is one of the most harebrained economic models you could choose.

2018-10-05 12:37:15 UTC  

It only sounds fair to a toddler.

2018-10-05 12:37:16 UTC  

As such the left believes it is the hero and will do anything it needs to win.

2018-10-05 12:37:37 UTC  

Equality of outcome for unequal work means that whoever worked harder got less per unit of time!

2018-10-05 12:37:42 UTC  

Actually, it doesn't even seem fair to toddlers. We have experiments proving toddlers hate equality of outcome.

2018-10-05 12:37:56 UTC  

It's only fair to statisticians, bureaucrats and academics

2018-10-05 12:38:10 UTC  

Who more or less control everything these days.

2018-10-05 12:38:15 UTC  

But, basic arithmetic is not the strong suite of so-called egalitarians.

2018-10-05 12:38:24 UTC  

Oh, and HR types and Union faithful.

2018-10-05 12:38:39 UTC  

Wait, so even toddlers don't like it?

2018-10-05 12:38:51 UTC  

Nope. They believe in something usually called "fairness" in the literature.

2018-10-05 12:38:55 UTC  

What are we doing to so-called adults to miswire their brains that badly then?

2018-10-05 12:39:10 UTC  

Which is closer to equal rewards for equal precieved effort.

2018-10-05 12:39:16 UTC  

Which is what most adults want too.

2018-10-05 12:39:18 UTC  

offer them "free money"

2018-10-05 12:39:26 UTC  

Yes, that I can have some sympathy for.

2018-10-05 12:39:54 UTC  

Equality of outcome is very convenient for people who do statistics (it's relatively easy to test) and bureaucrats (you get paid on the plan)

2018-10-05 12:40:07 UTC  

I think equal rewards for equal perceived effort is evil

2018-10-05 12:40:10 UTC  

I think there are also very strange misperceptions of where prices come from.

2018-10-05 12:40:15 UTC  

It's also convenienent for people who don't really want to work or otherwise obsess over equality.

2018-10-05 12:40:22 UTC  

Yes PERCEIVED effort, that would be a bad thing.

2018-10-05 12:40:28 UTC  

But not as bad as equality of outcome.
