“The Federal Behemoth would cut their Salaries?”

Most likely they would not be getting annual raises until their pay came into the local ranges.

Move the office and let deep state stay behind unemployed.

Maybe I’m a bit nitpicky, but why was the word “literally” used in the Headline?

The expression is so overused figuratively they probably thought an actual performance of the action needed be clarified as such. :)

My son works for the fed govt in the Dept of Labor. His dept of the DOL - concerning coal-mining - is located in the heart of coal country. Makes sense to me.

Did 4 years in GFAFB, 1978-1982. Totally agree, Kansas looked real good after that.

The Department of Commerce should be relocated to Bentonville Arkansas.

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?

Well, there are over 20,000 USDA Federal Government employees already in Kansas City so these few hundred more should fit right in.

The only impact of telling them they’re immediately FIRED would only be us tax payers saving some money.

This speaks volumes about the state of government employees. Nobody in private industry would even CONTEMPLATE doing this. The entitlement being shown here is staggering. They don’t fear for their jobs at all. Maybe they’re all signalling that they’re now looking for a job - I don’t care, this is disgraceful either way.

If my manufacturing plant in Detroit had done that and moved to Kansas, I would have been pretty pissed off at the time and depressed. But I would have accepted the moving offer.

In 6 months time I would have been happy as hell, especially after meeting and making friends with outdoorsmen who like bird hunting.......

Now I'm still stuck in Detroit with the crappy winters and heavy traffic.........LOL! But life is still good......

Isn’t that the plan. He’s clearing out the computer farmers and replacing them with more knowledgable people who enjoy having dirt under their fingernails ! A gold star for creativity.

Great pics of the fidiots. Judging from their actions, firmly in the dem category. Are they stomping their collective footsies? I see the one guy already texting his “partner” to give the bad news.

And their severance package should be 1 red stapler. Let them play musical chairs to see who gets it.
