1) Resources provided to the advantage grouped may not be utilized effectively. You can reallocate the crates without anyone in the advantaged group noticing
2) Resources invested in the future can be done so to remove systemic barriers that lead to disadvantages. Next time the fence needs maintenance or replacement, just replace it with one that doesn't need crates
3) Another way to say #2 is if you commit to EVALUATING the status quo and trying to understand the reasons for inequality (as opposed to just assuming that the world is inherently hierarchical and just which is the more traditionalist approach), you can identify policies that exist that continue to perpetuate disadvantages. And that if you just remove them, you will reveal additional resources. (e.g. stop sentencing certain races more harsher for the same crimes as other races)
What I envision in the 4th panel is that less people want to pay to sit at the benches, the players get paid less, players leave for other opportunities, and downward spiral starts. Eventually there are no more professional games because there are no money to support it.
Perhaps I am too pessimistic, but I think even with healthcare or housing when the barrier is broken down the system would segregate into two. A public option (no/little barrier) and a luxury (pay to play) option. Which in this analogy is analogous to another ballpark for professional baseball teams being built with taller fences and more expensive tickets.
