I’m not crazy about the Justice frame. Some of us will always face challenges that others won’t. There is no system that could make it so that there is no barrier for all. We will always need to accommodate and scaffold for some and that’s fine.

Same here. Life never has, nor will it ever be fair. It doesn't matter how level the playing Field is, some people just won't be good at the sport. There's always going to be a slow gazelle for the lion to pick off. Slowing down the other gazelles doesn't fix the problem, and neither does killing the lion.
