So I chose this article to learn what went wrong with this equality. It is shocking to learn that the rich are given such an advantage and the poor a disadvantage when it should be the other way around.]]> 2020-04-11 16:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mazurnb001/6u1bpz70r30ln2vh/wish/502992411 "There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people" mazurnb001 https://padlet.com/mazurnb001/6u1bpz70r30ln2vh/wish/502994585 -Thomas Jefferson]]> 2020-04-11 16:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mazurnb001/6u1bpz70r30ln2vh/wish/502994585 How does it make me feel? mazurnb001 https://padlet.com/mazurnb001/6u1bpz70r30ln2vh/wish/502999487 I am hopeful and worried. A significant change to this unequal system relies entirely on the good-will of individuals and with COVID-19, a recession can easily occur if the wealthy do not help out the poor.]]> 2020-04-11 16:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mazurnb001/6u1bpz70r30ln2vh/wish/502999487 What was not reported on in the article? mazurnb001 https://padlet.com/mazurnb001/6u1bpz70r30ln2vh/wish/503007615 The author Trevor Hunnicutt spoke of the benefit of stabilizing the economy instead of the moral benefit of helping out the poor and the benefits it would have on the daily lives of the poor. I feel like the article reported from the viewpoint of the wealthy instead of the poor. The article focused more on what the rich had to give up, but they didn't mention the significance it would have on the individual lives of the less fortunate people. ]]> 2020-04-11 16:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mazurnb001/6u1bpz70r30ln2vh/wish/503007615 mazurnb001 https://padlet.com/mazurnb001/6u1bpz70r30ln2vh/wish/503027404 2020-04-11 17:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mazurnb001/6u1bpz70r30ln2vh/wish/503027404
