This is very true. Equality of outcome is always cherry picked on what is causing the outcome as well to make the argument. For example, if one worker completes 10 items/hour and another completes 1 item/hour. You would expect the higher producer to get paid up to 10 times as much in an equal society. The issue is many seem to believe 1 hour worked is 1 hour, so they should get equal pay or equality of outcome. Equality of outcomes is even less fair than portrayed when measured in hours/money and not rates of productivity. The problem is productivity is extremely difficult to measure in a lot of cases. If one person spent 2 hours coming up with an an idea that saves everyone in a 20 person company 1 hour a day for the entire year and another put in 60 hours a week - it’s obvious that the person who worked 2 hours was more productive for the entire year than the person who worked 60 hours a week. We just can’t measure that and instead use flat single variables that don’t reflect actual productivity.
