"would rather have Equality without Profitability or Profitability without Equality"

 At that time I interpreted "Profitability" as increased capital, which reinforced my original assessment that sustainability is more important than implementation with no avenue to maintain as failed social programs lead to more problems and more inequality from my point of view.

 Asking that same question while clarifying that the profitability is null and void through "magical and equitable" means then my answer would be Equality without Profitability.  In this case profitability has zero value, or possibly infinite value since: "there's always plenty of money, to borrow, tax, print whatever"
