We should execute everyone on earth with a sub-100 IQ. Imagine how awesome the world would be after the adjustment period. We'd have tons of natural resources. African would be empty and available for productive use.

Edgar Allen Pwn would be among the first to go.
I would at least give the sub-100s the opportunity to rebut a presumption of uselessness. If they can prove a) that they're not violent and b) that they will not procreate unnecessarily and waste valuable social capital and resources and c) that they can hold steady jobs as blue collar workers or menial labor, then they can be spared.

Given that IQ is curved based upon the existing population, I can't foresee any problems.
I mean, there is the fact that as you kill dumb people, others drop below average, and eventually you kill everybody except 1 person. But hey, I don't mind being lonely.

"However, I'd say that 20 percent of Florida's existing citrus acreage can be easily adapted to Peterson's new harvester..."
that leaves 80% of citrus fruits in need of hand pickers.
it's highly doubtful that anybody with a three digit iq would work in the fields. this is why the gov't lets so many illegal mexicans into the country.
this might work, though, if child labor laws were less stringent.

There are lots of necessary occupations that suit people in the below average IQ range such as janitor, cleaner, process worker etc. Often these people like these jobs because they know they are within their capabilities and they can get a sense of satisfaction from doing them well. Who would do these jobs if you executed all the under-100 IQ people? Robots and other machines aren't a viable option yet.

It'll be a long time before they develop a robot that replaces a janitor. Most sub-normal intelligence people are completely harmless and perform a useful function in society doing jobs that need to be done that nobody else wants to do. The ones that are criminally inclined should be dealt with harshly though.

Justice Scalia endorsed this policy in Mills v. Erickson (1989), a case that dealt with this very question. Here's part of his dissent:
"And while the mentally retarded have indeed demonstrated minimal economic value in occupations that range from floor-sweepers to grocery clerks, the vast preponderance of evidence suggests that these individuals are a clear and undue burden upon our Judeo-Christian society. As such, they have forefeited their right to live and are therefore eligible for elimination by firing squad, gas chamber, and any other means deemed appropriate by local authorities."

How about we just get rid of the criminals, the sexual deviants, and people that think law school---> BIG LAW is a great way to spend one's sole and rapid existence on earth.
