For & Against Sending Feds Back to the Office

I’ve lived and worked in and around Washington DC for twenty years. My first (very short) job out of college was on Capitol Hill. Before that I interned on The Hill and worked for people like Chuck Todd and Billy Bush, among others. After that stretch I lived in the suburbs of Washington mostly away from government but still very much ensconced in “govland” (the land of the federal employee). Then after having enough of the place, my wife and I sold the house and moved seventy miles south where the air was clearer, the people nicer, and traffic mostly not a factor.
