"If selected, applicants are required to strictly stay in the Tulsa city limits."
Once you factor in relocation costs, the fact that urban apartments in major cities are offering revised rates & X months free, and that you're still in a city (free coworking doesn't make sense if you're concerned about the pandemic), it's moot.
Thinking wildly aloud, maybe one idea is to have collective bargaining rather than money. Say, X number of remote employees offer to move to Tulsa and participate in their economy in exchange for say, giving Oklahoma tribes back sovereignty for their land (see https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/10/05/indigenous-leaders-furious-after-epa-grants-oklahoma-control-over-sovereign-tribal https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/10/05/indigenous-lead... )

- jcranmer 6y agoBroadly speaking, it would mean that you are subject to tribal laws instead of state laws. Exact details vary greatly based on what the treaty the US wrote with the exact tribe in question, and to what degree Congress has explicitly expressed its intent to ignore said treaty.
