DC is called the swamp for a reason, spreading those jobs around would make life more difficult for lobbyists and other parasites who extract wealth from tax payers so it will never happen.
DC is run like it's still the 1700s despite all the technology that makes it pointless for everything to run in DC. Logically having all leadership concentrated in a single place is a huge risk, but they won't change it
- dragonwriter 3y ago> DC is called the swamp for a reason Two main reaosons: 1. Political propaganda by (mostly, unusually corrupt) politicians cultivating an crusading pure outsider image by encouraging people to focus on negative inages of the soace the politician is seeking to enter and ignore the details of the politicians own personal record, and 2. The fact that it is built on a literal, not at all metaphorical, swamp.

None, it's all wealth extracted from the citizens, and the people in DC mock and look down on the people they need to survive I personally know people who have made millions by lobbying to create BS grants and other funds using tax payer money and then getting money through them. Anybody with actual exposure to DC is disgusted by it.
