I agree with this sentiment, but one challenge I see is that it's hard
to make a living doing accessibility programming. If a blind person has
the aptitude and becomes a programmer then they may have a hard time
getting paid to do any accessibility related coding. Of course they
could do this in their spare time, but then their time is constrained
and it takes a while to come up to speed on some of this access
technology infrastructure.

Sadly, neither drugs nor prayer seem to be able to give many blind folk that;
and I think we all know of more than a couple bind folks who have both 1 or
more degrees and above average inteligence who are unemployed.
One alternative is for more of those who have some potential as far as logical
thinking and such, and a fair math back ground to learn to code.
It's a longer and harder row to hoe, but if enough folks got in to the nuts and
bolts of the tech they use so much then most of the money could be taken out of
the equation.
I have a terrible math background, am over 50 with responsibilities, and a few
not very promising hours looking at beginners programing tutorials; so, I''m
probably not our boy, but there must be othrs who could really do something.
I'm still hoping I can say I've done something real to advance Linux
accessibility before I die, but this may not be as concrete as I'd like.

No, the thing we need is to become those rich visionaries. How in infinity can
we do it? What is the over night, have nothing to have it all quick
fix approach to getting blind people into areas of work where they will have
real incomes and earn that kind of money so that each of us might be
willing to put that few million into it. Instead of waiting for someone else
to do it, how in the known universe can we become those people?
I'm serious. Any possible answers that might be doable for all of us?
