I was talking to a guy who is a FedEx pilot making a lot of runs to Asia. Asked him what the worst place to go is, he said Mumbai, when you descend to 10,000 feet it starts to smell like sh*t and stays that way.

“That will take more than just money, it will take the will of the people to do their part.”

Major cultural change. But that’s how societies evolve.
