The decision to relocate the positions is made by the government. The employees then have the option to relocate or take other, often unrelated, jobs in DC provided they are available.

Their locality pay will be cut in half. It will decrease costs now and in the future when they retire. Facility costs will be reduced too. Good move.

And that will free up some building space for the prosecution of deep state traitors.

Hopefully many other departments will move out of DC.

There are circumstances in which government employees can be fired.

For example, if an agency downsizes, government employees are offered preference in hiring for other government positions. I am not certain how this applies if an agency moves, but I would think the employees would be offered the option of moving or receiving a hiring preference.

Those employees might really like the DC swamp area (I don’t know why, though, I can’t wait to get out of here). But it makes a lot of sense for the government. The difference in salary between Washington DC and Kansas is huge, about 10%. I think building and facilities costs would be lower, as well. And any employees who move might lose that arrogant swamp creature attitude, which would be a huge benefit.

Ingrates. They should be made aware of the many people in Kansas waiting in line for their cushy government jobs. These people make me sick.

Send them to North Dakota for a couple of months. Kansas will look pretty good, after that.

No need to fire them, ask if they wish reassignment to another agency, or if they consider early retirement as an option.

If yes to either, then outplace them, or place them outside. The office is moving, with or without them.

This is not, after all, the first move ever to decentralization.

President Eisenhower remarked, regarding the Dept. of Agriculture, that: “It's hard to be a farmer, when you're a thousand miles from a corn field, and your “plow” is a pencil!”

Looks Ike's description has finally after 70 years, going to be addressed. Don't say that the government doesn't “take it's time” fixing known problems! My bet is that both of these “departments” could be totally eliminated and the only thing we'd notice is that the cost of government has gone down a minuscule amount.

Department of Agriculture employees transferred to Kansas? What a surprise. Because federal employees are supposed to help taxpayers, why weren't the Department of Agriculture employees in Kansas or another agriculture-rich state in the first place? What the heck are they doing in D.C anyway?

Kansas is a nice state to live in. I took a one-year position here a long time ago and have stuck around for almost 20 years. We don't need those pieces of crap here, so it would be best to just fire them.
