This will end up like Colorado. The leftists will infect the new host state. Just because the WSJ doesn’t like something doesn’t make it a good idea.

The various departments should be moved to climate zones that have average winters under 10 degrees or summers over 110.

WSJ is worthless with their paywall.

“I think ALL Federal Agencies should be based in US Territories, NOT States. Puerto Rico and Guam sound nice to me.”

I think ALL Federal Employees should be replaced with illegal immigrants.
