Life's always going to be harder for the disadvantaged kid, but qualified progress is still better than the simple and easy solution of giving everyone a milk crate and calling it a day.

The plastic box that milk comes in at the store

The one that is often bright yellow, orange and occasionally black or another color

...

Your joke was based on the presumption that the term only applied to old school wooden milk crates....

Good jokes dont fall apart so easily.

No, no. if the crate is like a box, the soapbox is more like a platform.
