I won't make my positions known at this time. Just curious what the broad consensus on Atlas ends up looking like

All except 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 17, and 18.

I concede that 2 and 14 are objectively probably good policies, but selfishly... that would put me out of a job.

1 is not at all practical but taking it at face-value, I would support it provided we still had a united military and had a program to allow people to move beforehand.

NOTA.

I'm ambivalent on the stock trading ban because I don't understand how it will work and assume that the policy would be a loophole-ridden monstrosity that just makes the actual trading less visible yo the public. Pelosi and others like her should be charged with securities fraud instead.

Maybe allowing states to split would be OK, but the thrust of that should be improved governance and more local representation rather than the Senate angle. You get Senators for being self-governing participants in the United States, not the other way around.

Why not make election day a national holiday?

Because electing some doofus who thankfully isn’t that powerful into office is no cause for celebration.

Of course workers should get sufficient time off to vote.

Many people still work on holidays, and they tend to be the last kind of voter I want placed at a relative disadvantage.

That is an interesting point. I'm not sure how a "holiday" would work in this context; in order to accomplish the intended goal, some provision would have to be made for workers.

Remove party membership from ballots, mandatory jungle primaries, expand the size of the House and make election day a national holiday.
