Should we have equality for equity during the pandemic? why or why not?

The terms equality and equity are often used interchangeably; however, they differ in important ways. Equality is typically defined as treating everyone the same and giving everyone access to the same opportunities. Meanwhile, equity refers to proportional representation (by race, class, gender, etc.

Should we have equality or Equity for the stimulus checks ?

equity, as long as the judge of who gets what is being fair.

Depends. Equality as default works better than equity because different people will have different opinions on who needs more resources. We don't want oppression wars.

When equity can be done in an objective manner, it should be. As Em J. said, the stimulus check wouldn't be as effective if it were equal for everyone.

Equality is saying, "All animals are equal."
Equity is adding, "But some animals are more equal than others."

It will be equity during this. I am not sure it can be any other way and work.
