Lol, they are making the decisions.

You think people like Pelosi or Hillary are giving up their spot?

You think any white liberal gives up their spot in the name of equity or equality?

You do realize that the people in the bunker will be forced to do hard, laborious work related to their professions, eating rigidly measured rations and engaging in tediously deliberative discussions...while the people on the surface will be partying like there’s no tomorrow, boozing, eating, and making love like crazy?

Who should be saved, and who would be saved, would be completely different lists.

No one over the age of 50.

Pick 200,000 people, by skill level, education, nationality, gender, etc.

Each of them can bring up to four family members. If you have more than a spouse and three kids, or no spouse and four kids, you are ineligible.

Do you prioritize certain professionals over others? B) Do you exclude the elderly and infirm from the shelter?


Yes and yes.

You have to think repopulation and people who can not only survive but rebuild civilization.

I’d say pick men ages 15-55. All relatively healthy and strong and can reproduce. Women ages 12-35. Child bearing years. Reproduce with older ones first and you need young ones to be the next generation reproducers in a few years.

Pick people with useful skills. Farmers, carpenters, hunters, military. Strong, in shape. 500,000 women and 500,000 men. Find athletic women who are intelligent for good genetics and that have useful knowledge or skills to contribute to the rebuild, and don’t have to be coddled. Of the men get 400,000 “baws” to build, hunt, protect. 100,000 professionals or intellectuals to design and help rebuild things like buildings, bridges, power grids, engines, practice medicine, etc

Knowing the current state of the country and how it's being run, most would probably be old politicians and bureaucrats, media, and celebrities.

The way to avoid the masses storming the bunker would be a select few govt officials and military brass would know the asteroid is coming. Nobody is told. They pick military members from elite groups that will be saved. Then select the private citizens needed without their knowledge, and send those military to collect them in the night without anyone knowing and take them to the bunker

No one over 50,
No one not willing or capable of reproducing,
Start over.

Theres no way a million people drop out of sight unnoticed. It would quickly turn into a shitshow/mass panic.

Scenario: Asteroid on a collision course with Earth is discovered. World leaders have just enough lead time to build an underground bunker that will survive the impact and provide shelter long enough to survive the impact winter.

1. I would have all heads of state and their immediate families a place in the bunker if for no other reason than to ensure worldwide cooperation in building it.

2. I would have a large percentage of necessary professionals that are all relatively young. How I would figure that up I have no clue. They also need to be people who aren’t pussies because the post apocalyptic world isn’t going to be easy for anyone. If you need a doctor, take a Myron Rolle type.

3. No lotto would be completely random. Everyone would have to have some use. There might be a lotto among useful people, but no worthless pieces of shite are getting in the bunker out of sheer luck.

4. Need to make sure plenty of young women are there. Going to be harder to repopulate the Earth with only 10% women.

If you want the planet to succeed after the impact, it’s definitely A.

But it’ll end up being elitists and politicians filling out most of the 1,000,000 and the population will die off inside of 4 generations.
