As you are the OP of the thread, I am willing to remove the Staff note and open the thread up to a broader discussion. Though it should not be an omnibus thread:

As per the rules for GD and P&E:

> [@New Rules for Politics and Elections – January 2020](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-rules-for-politics-and-elections-january-2020/845727/1):
>
> **Keep threads specific and debatable.** No wide omnibus threads. We want to see clear, specific topics and thread titles. Large omnibus threads are actively detrimental to the long-term success of the boards. A thread entitled, “Tax Policy” is too broad. One entitled, “Should a National Sales Tax be enacted” is better. Keep it clear and specific. This also requires participants in the thread to remain on specific topics as well.

Give me a few minutes to make some changes. Then let me know if it looks OK.
