Necessary to point out that, at least as of now, lawyers, especially
junior ones taking legal aid cases, are being required to keep working:

Also the wage subsidy is capped at just above the median wage, so it's
not quite as wildly unequal as you suggest. Though I agree that it would
be better to just treat everyone who is not working equally.
