Even if you hit land, the odds of it being inhabited land are extremely slim.
Speaking as a poor American, the idea that it would be better to be poor in India is so ludicrous that it's impossible to take anything you say seriously. Especially in an article about pollution.
Management may produce negative value, but they're paid far more than those producing the value.
I don't see anywhere on your linked page indicating the age of the vehicles. Trading in a 10 year old truck for a new truck doesn't help significantly. Trading a 30 year old truck would help (and there are plenty of those on the road still spewing fumes).
Everyone making over about $14K/yr pays federal income tax -- that includes full time minimum wage workers -- except for the wealthy who have accountants to get around it. I know this for a fact because I have paid federal income tax in years when I was around $14K (no, not just social security tax).
The poorer you are, the less likely you are to be able to afford to live close to work.
The poor have fled the inner city for the suburbs because they couldn't afford to live close to work? Nope, if you're poor you're much more likely to live in a city and use public transit and quite unlikely to be able to afford the huge gas costs of a 20 mile commute.
The last couple years of Kubuntu have been kind to me, before 15.04. I do recall similar messes when they switched to KDE 4 though.
Actually, Michael Jordan was still a better baseball player than 99.99% of the population. Let's see you hit
Clearly we must solve this problem by hunting down all open source hobby developers and giving them various disabilities.
What should really happen is that a company like Red Hat which sells to business should pay its own developers to improve accessibility.
It's not that being outsiders is the goal, it's that being popular isn't the goal. If a change will make things better for grandma and not affect me, then fine. If it'll make things better for grandma but affects my workflow negatively, then to hell with grandma, let her use Windows or Mac.
(Personally, systemd doesn't affect my workflow so I'll let others argue about it... but if you start talking about something like hiding configuration options and advanced features, I'll be objecting.)
Actually, a lot of distros are made by a single person. My mid-'00s favorite MEPIS, for example, was a one person project at the time.
Kubuntu 15.04 is a broken mess because of the jump to Plasma 5, which is nowhere near ready. Kate is the worst. Opening 2 files in Kate caused Dolphin to freeze until I looked up a hacky workaround. And then Kate still can't edit FTP files, which is a known bug for many months which there seem to be no plans to fix. Plasma crashes several times a day now too.
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny ..." -- Isaac Asimov
