What is Fair? Outcomes vs. Opportunities

If you are still reading I know what you are thinking: “That is the real problem. Not everyone starts at the same place at the same time.” And this should be the discussion. How can we make it possible for everyone to have the same opportunities. Not favoring one over another because of something that they had no control over. Also not picking who will win and who will lose but creating, or reinforcing systems that give everyone the same opportunity to succeed. 

This is about perspective and warrants much deeper conversation to be sure, but the perspective and the conversations need to be about Opportunities instead off Outcomes.
