It was just last month when president Biden signed an executive order that called on all federal agencies to launch a whole of government approach to Equity
Federal agencies are now required to designate leaders to implement equity mandates and release yearly action plans to the public.
The order even gives agencies AI instructions. [ i] When designing, developing, acquiring, and using artificial intelligence and automated systems in the federal government, agencies shall do so, consistent with applicable law, in a manner that advances equity. [[/i]
But what does Equity mean?
Bill Maher asked American Bernie Sanders.
(Prepare to laugh)
Maher made the point that equality and equity mean two different things and asked Sanders how he would differentiate between equity and equality
I do not know what the answer to that is.
I think that, you know, equality is equality of opportunity. All right?
Maher then says
Equity I think is more a guarantee of outcome, is it not?
which Sanders says,
I think so?
So, which side do you come down on? Maher asks.
Uh, Equality, said Sanders.
[/i]Maybe Sanders should be applauded for his ludicrous response.
After all he is right, for a change.
