You do realize that's completely irrelevant if individuals start form an unequal position, right? Imagine someone who is born into a high-class family and has all the means to have a good education and compare that person to someone who is born in a low income family and needs to start working, drop school, etc very soon. Where the hell is equality in this? This tells me simply that we are not making the most of our human resources. But we should. SOcial justice is not about forcing the same result, it's simply to provide people a common starting point that gives no one advantages or disadvantages. It seems fair
