You are president. The debt ceiling will soon hit the limit without being increased. The opposing party controls Congress and is demanding a list of conditions that you find unacceptable, such as deep budget cuts to priorities and causes that you consider highly important. They are not willing to offer any concessions of their own in return. If the U.S. defaults on its debt (which has never happened before), the economic and societal consequences will be severe. Do you cave in to the demands?
- Yes
- No

- I don’t know who either of those people are.

A malicious Q appears to you. He tells you whichever decision you make; you, your family and your closest friends will be spared. For everybody else though, he will either kill the best 10% of humanity or the worst 90%. No loopholes. What is “best” is extrapolated from your mainly subconscious internal ranking system from before the Q appeared and can’t be changed.
If you defer it, the Q will eventually find someone and you, your friends and family will not be immune.
- Kill best 10%
- Kill worst 90%
- Defer decision to someone else.

Being the SDMB and all, I object to the above poll because this was not technically exactly 3,334 polls later, because not all posts were polls, including the actual OP, and that may or may not even be the correct number of posts between them anyways.
- Yes!
- It may not have been exactly 100% technically correct, but I understood, and that’s fine.
- I’m against that level of pedantry in this forum, even this being the SDMB and all.
