While this question is influenced by politics, it’s not meant to be 100% focused on it.
Laws exist, but time and time again throughout our lives, as long as you are higher up the ladder, the consequences are either non-existent or much less severe than for the average folk. You’ll have people going to prison for months to years and have their lives ruined over something as low as marijuana possession, whereas you’ll see in the news how some millionaire/billionaire violated some various business or trading laws netting an indescribable amount of money and they get a slap on the wrist in the news, maybe apologize, and go right back to their work. I’ll see the argument so often when it comes to courts, that as long as you have the money for a better lawyer, you can basically get away with anything, or at the very least settle.
It’s not like this is new in human history of course. Power always gets you more benefits than those without out.
Are we too naive as a human race to think that things will actually progress and justice will be equal at any point in our species’ time on this planet?
