Sorry that you don't agree with me on what the "subject matter" is.

You've apparently postulated a government bureaucracy that going to make these life-and-death decisions for a pretty sizable population. Would you model it on the current social services infrastructure, well-known for its efficiency and cost-effectivness?

Even if so, the criteria they will use to sort the sheep from the goats is germane.

If those are dismissable as "details", then the discussion you invited is pointless.


At least The Velvet Monkey Wrench is entertaining. Ever read that? Or Coventry?
