Fair is a funny concept. Do we all stay with the same amount, end with the same amount, spend the same amount, or get the same amount of utility from it? All could be fair. There are likely angles I have not noticed.
Wages should be flat with all earning the same.
Houses should be flat, and housing should cost the same everywhere.
Services should be flat, and provide the same benefits to all.
housing couldnt be flat because they arent equally located or built or maintained or sized or designed etc etc. oceanfront acreage couldn't be the same value as isolated crime-ridden desert lacking utilities.
wages couldnt be flat due to expertise, stress, responsibility, hazards, hours, location, etc.
Plus if houses were flat they would be hard to go inside.
But I don't think Choice was actually proposing any of those thing could truly by flat in any equitable way, rather the opposite.
