We need to strip boilerplate: EEO, Florida info, Apply Now, etc. Also "Family Makes Us Stronger..." maybe considered fluff but it's substantive? It's a tagline; could be considered boilerplate? It's not required info but it's part of posting. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The tagline "Family Makes Us Stronger..." is not EEO or legal; it's a motivational statement. Might be considered fluff but not explicitly prohibited. However we should preserve substantive information; it's not essential but could be kept. Safer to keep it? It's not a heading; we could put it in a
