Each time you press the button, you make an exact duplicate of Earth and all its resources, but with the population evenly and randomly divided between the Earths. How many times do you press the button?

I hope that they are around an appropriate star as well, otherwise it would be a horrible death for those who end up on the new Earths

That would cause more problems than it's worth. You'd fuck up soo many lives
I'd pressed 6+. There could definitely be issues on how people were split up and where they went. But in terms of resources, they just greatly grew. And issues like manmade climate change would drastically reduce.
I'd press it a couple times if it meant no one being separated from each other (who wouldn't benefit from separation).

Where is this duplicate Earth located? Do they share the same orbit around the Sun, spaced equidistantly? (What about the Moon? Does that count as a resource of the Earth?) Basically, do these duplicate Earths have the real possibility of eventually contacting one another?

I voted 2-5 (thinking twice would be optimal), but realize I haven't even begun to fully consider all the ramifications, so... :/
What we have is not a resource shortage problem. It's 99% stupidity problem. With each press of the button, it only duplicates the same problem.
