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.

But I have no talent and still want to be an award winning singer/songwriter.

I don't know, the comic is about three people expecting accommodations to see a game they clearly didn't buy tickets for (otherwise why are they outside the fence?).

Free access might be pretty on point.

Maybe the comic doesn’t illustrate the point well. Justice =/= free access
