Interesting that you read that comment as inequality...

> You're not going to convince folks the world is better when they know what kind of deal they're getting vs others out there

Somehow i read that as equal opportunities.... To me a fair deal generally means, something close to equal opportunities(of course, ceteris paribus, and rarely do we have all other things equal, but adjusting for it..)

but opportunities are far from equal in many parts of the world, including the US. poverty alone limits your opportunities when you can't even afford a car to apply for a job, or are stuck in a bad school that limits your chances to go to college. in other parts of the world you can't even go to school if you can't afford it.
Exactyl my point... I think we're on the same page/boat/car/whatever...
