Interesting paradox: If everyone has 2 parents, and each parent has 2 parents, then everone has 4 grandparents - and by extension, 8 great-grandparents, 16 great-great-grandparents, 32 great-great-great-grandparents, - and if one 'generation' is 30 years, that means that only 300 years ago, everyone had 2^10 ancestors (1024) - so ***why wasn't the population 300 years ago 6 TRILLION*** (or mebbe /srv/god has already implemented /dev/null??)

sudo tail /dev/earth > /dev/null would clear the earth of the youngest dude/ettes first! your (good) intention however, is to clear the earth of the oldest (in keeping with the "first-in-first-out" principle) "until every remaining person can afford some decent acreage of arable land". ama?

First of all, this operation should only be carried out by members in the sudoers list; And old peeps should be gotten rid of, assuming /dev/earth is a kind of stack structure... So here's my suggestion:
sudo tail /dev/earth > /dev/null
Above operation may be repeated until /dev/earth has enough space to bring land prices down :-)
