I think it makes sense to spread federal employment across the country instead of concentrating it in Washington DC, which has become a high-cost area. Especially for agriculture, having offices in the Midwest makes sense.
- evil-olive 7y agoIt seems like it would make sense to have offices in DC as well as satellite offices in farm country. The problem is...they already have those: https://www.outreach.usda.gov/USDALocalOffices.htm https://www.outreach.usda.gov/USDALocalOffices.htm > USDA unveiled Kansas City as its chosen location on June 16, and employees have until Sept. 30 to move there. This...makes no sense at all. DC has a high cost-of-living, but uprooting an entire family and moving them cross-country on 3 months notice is also expensive and very disruptive.
