If you told all the DC drones they were being transferred to doublewides in a small town in Kansas, at least half of them would quit. If you told them their new offices would be on re-opened military bases and they had to live in barracks on base and eat in the mess, 100% would quit.
Although I have to think the frozen tundra of Alaska might work even better than Kansas.
That’s the idea. Btw, I like the base idea. Find a closed military base in some remote flea bitten area, and relocate 40,000 D.C. bureaucrats to work out of that venue. Rent out their former opulent offices in the D.C. kingdom to those who produce or create things.
