I ain’t no ways tired of winning.
I expect the “telework” scheme will be extended to November 2020. Nobody will quit and few will move until then. They obviously hope Trump loses and the decision will be reversed. The Dems are experts at slow walking things like this.
No, no, and no... Stay on track and let them quit if they like and rehire local. It will greatly improve things.
Because it is closer to their customer base. Look at a map of ag-related business near KC vs DC. How many ag experiment stations are located in and around DC??
There aren’t enough Antifa Chapters in the greater KC area?
They shut down Greenbelt quite a while ago now.
Besides, does the USDA still pick cotton?
I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I’m scared of contaminating free states with goober-drones, but OTOH, having government agencies staffed by normals and not career bureaucrats could only be good.
“Moving these researchers out of Washington puts them out of earshot from policymakers. A lot of the research that scientists and economists do at [the USDA] has policy implications, and members of Congress need this information”
And having researchers in DC keeps them out of earshot of farmers and Ranchers and Forest managers
“Why did the agency choose such a crappy place for relocation?”
More veggies and cows are grown around Kansas City than DC?
Good. Why should my employee have better access to elected officials than I do? Should be the other way around.
Excellent, just dont let the ones that leave take other govt jobs.
I'm not seeing the problem here.
Hire staff fresh from the heartland; people who appreciate the job.
I’ll take a job
great idea...how about Guam.................
Yep, Rural folks who feel the pain. Keeping DC “City folks” who have not a clue how rural works is already the problem.
As long as the fleeing continues. Hire new in KC, good Midwesterners who grew up on farms and ranches.
Moving these researchers out of Washington puts them out of earshot from policymakers.

Your point is shared by the majority of Americans who view government employees as the most powerful political lobby.
amen... find locals in the midwest to do the work
I vote for Midway.
