We start spurious rumours of impending doom. i.e., scaremongering that the Earth is about to be knocked off its orbit, or a comet is going to hit, whatever, as long as it's scary. Then we start a huge project to build a fleet of colony spaceships to evacuate to Andromeda. Once the first one is finished, we pack it full of all the annoying useless people, telling them thet get to go first because they're so important, and we send them on their way. Of course, we never build the other ships, since there is no impending disaster, and those of us that remain stay on Earth to live full, rich and happy lives.*
Some candidates for Andromeda duty would be
People who listen to Britney Spear or Limp Bizkit
Bank managers
Teenie-boppers who use the word "like" more than twice per sentence.
Anyone employed by whatever company makes Pokémon
Bill Gates
James Hetfield
The extended Bush family
All military dictators, fascist leaders, etc.
Religious fundamentalists
all the racists, misogynists, homophobes, hyper-nationalists, etc.
