This will contribute to the worsening conditions in red states, then compared with blue states.

These States need to offer moving costs.

I like it!

Unfortunately, Trump is cutting the budget at state level for federal funding so it’s gonna be harmful in many states… Like New Hampshire, which the GOP had been in charge since 2017
We now have a gigantic deficit and top five cost of living

Yes. Sweep them up so when the Oligarchs privatize everything the competitive advantage and knowledge is already with the states. Also, states need to stop collecting and forwarding federal income tax. FR.

NYC welcomes former federal workers too!

Liking this idea a lot.

Anybody know if they’ll hire 100% remote? Not willing or able to move to my state capital (which has a red governor right now) let alone across the country.

It's brilliant! We can shadow many of the federal roles, agencies, tasks & retain our talent. Then if we get lucky enough to save the U.S. we can return some to fed employment as we recover. We can charge gop & red states Asshole fees also!

Let's re create a CDC in a blue state

Great idea. Love it

Thinking outside the box. I love it!

We should redirect the taxes we pay to the feds over to the states we live in. We can do so much more for those who are getting screwed.

laresistance47.bsky.social•9 hours ago

And I'd think they can recreate some of the federal services at the state level - so those states will be better places to live.

And it will cause duplication across states and is less "efficient" in the end - which is why many of these roles are positioned at the federal level in the first place

jennipherb.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Yes, it will also mean that there is no consistency on how laws are applied so contractors and businesses that work with multiple states will have different forms/products/requirements for each.

📌

laresistance47.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Yep - which businesses will end up hating - or they will all move to the states with the least regulations and then good states will have to enact restrictions on imports from bad states and on and on.

At some point we might as well not want or need to be a country anymore.

tenntiger.bsky.social•8 hours ago

And many more opportunities to influence / corrupt policies and programs at the state level which probably will have even less oversight!

laresistance47.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Yep - ugh

Meanwhile, back at the swamp Governor Landry plans for a DOGE-like government savings initiative. I wonder if state workers will lose their jobs. https://lailluminator.com/2024/12/13/louisiana-gov-jeff-landry-launches-doge-like-government-savings-initiative/

Right after posting the above, I saw this on Facebook:

Lalalala 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m sorry. That’s all I saw

scottnutte.bsky.social•8 hours ago

That’s a good idea

tenntiger.bsky.social•8 hours ago

So how are they going to fund all the workers and programs. A centralized agency is much more efficient. Alot of duplicated siloed effort to replicate the work in many different states is a waste of state tax payer dollars.

Illogical and dumb policy to cut Fed programs to serve us citizens.

ajdiii.bsky.social•8 hours ago

I don’t think they will all be able to be hired but the expertise a lot of them have could create perfect fits at state agencies. Ultimately it would be a case by case scenario.

I was hoping this would happen. Lots of good skills there!
