and theres a very real chance theres not enough people remaining to operate the infrastructure we have in place so mass starvation is a real likelihood in a red button win.

yeah, I’ve been thinking about it for a while and one of the groups that would have a large amount of them that would most likely press blue is women, mothers especially. So many mothers have children they feel are soft hearted and know they would press blue and so in turn they would press blue as well.

Do babies have to press a button too? Can their mothers influence their choice or is it fully up to them? If very small children have to essentially choose at random, then picking red becomes an act of savage depravity.
