Or about how "meritocracy" is an intrinsic classist system, when investing in education isn't evenly distributed.

Can't have a meritocracy without equity in opportunity. Anyone who claims they support a meritocracy but not social programs to make it possible is full of shit.

Equal opportunity with public funds to fully support that in education and basic needs.

Oh yeah it doesnt start and stop at education for sure. Housing security, food security, the list goes on.

And, IMO, well worth it for so many reasons.
