Unless we do something. The government has prepared a series of safe caves in southern Missouri to house one million Americans who will continue the human race, with enough supplies to last 2 years inside the caves.

Explain Why This is the Best Solution Possible, Given the Conditions:
This solution accomplishes two prime goals: keep a diverse population and ensure the existence of mankind. Each section serves a fundamental purpose essential to society. Doctors to ensure survival, scientist to learn about the new environment when they emerge, lawyer/judges to rebuild the democracy and ensure justice and law enforcement to enforce the rules. Engineers, construction/laborers, and farmers will rebuild after the 2 years. The entertainers will provide entertainment for the 2 years in the sanctuary so people don’t go insane and then culture afterwards. The teachers obviously to educate the students and the most crucial section, the students themselves- they ensure that they population continues to increase steadily without the awkward generation gap and will fill in the roles as people begin to die. The president and his cabinet are saved merely to ensure the survival of democracy and to try to make the new society and close to the old one as possible. The 10% that are pre-selected are a safeguard to ensure that at least.

Explain Why This Plan is FAIR:
This plan has a fair and diverse sampling from each demographic. A select few, necessary elite have ben pre-selected to ensure our preservation. The rest can apply into your profession for a lottery system based on your expertise and age- from there it is up to chance. We’ve chosen the fields that are most crucial for the continuation and reconstruction of society. This is fair as it can get under the circumstances. The majority of each age group is represented, in addition to each age group being equally represented by both genders. The qualifications are simple, just have a healthy mind and body. In order to apply for a field, all you have to do is be qualified and have the necessary credentials. In attempt to boast moral, those whose immediate family are selected have an increased chance of getting selected as well.

=Presidential Speech:= It is with the upmost regret that I come before you today to speak on the State of the World. As you know, most will not survive the comet and it’s aftermath. However, all is not lost. It was up to me as your President to come up with a solution to who will stay in the sanctions. This was not an easy task, there was no way to save everyone so I did my best to save America and to save mankind. As a whole, society will go on, the human race will go on, we will prevail. After months of creating a fair plan to decide who will be admitted to sanctions, the solution became clear and simple: a fair sampling of each fundamental and essential demographics. A select few, necessary elite have ben pre-selected to ensure our preservation. The rest can apply into your profession for a lottery system based on your expertise and age- from there it is up to chance. We’ve chosen the fields that are most crucial for the continuation and reconstruction of society. I know that is not an easy thing to do cope with. What I ask of now is that you put the existence of mankind before yourselves. The reality is, America, if we do not get a diverse sampling of the crucial elements essential to our society, the human race will cease to exist. We have to put democracy first, society first, the human race first. Your sacrifice will forever be remembered by future generations because without your cooperation there is no future. May the odds be ever in your favor. May God bless you and may God bless these Unites States of America.
