Once they get past shitting into a hole in the ground, they might manage civilization, there.

It's usually left out of such articles that these people desperately WANT to be on the grid. They're not environmentalists, they're alarmingly poor, with few resources. What minimal pennies they can scrape together is going to the trappings of modern life ... not for light or heat or cooking, but for cellphones.

Aint' humanity grand.
