Inequality is always going to be prevalent in a meritocracy.

Inequality will always be present. We aren’t all the same (I think that’s physically impossible as the universe prefers chaos) and thus any system we exist in will have inequality. It isn’t limited to meritocracy, idiocracy, or whatever.

Sadly none of these will ever be applied because countries are usually run by people who would feel these measures themselves and it would prevent them from putting spinning rims on gold jetskis

We are the 99%. If we had a common goal and agreed on a major path to get there, it could be achieved. Tax Wealth, Not Work is a big thing right now (at least in my bubble) but I’m trying to look outside of it and thus this question came up.
