If the federal government was spread around the country rather than concentrated in DC, VA would go back to being a red state. In the age of remote work, there’s no reason for so many fed workers to be in DC. It raises property and rent prices and taxpayers have to shoulder the burden of financing the higher cost of living (which is self-inflicted by placing so many enormous federal agencies in one small area).
Amazon is 20-40k and many can't vote because they are here on visa's. The number of people either directly working for the government, subcontractors, or lobbyists in VA is hundreds of thousands.
Just more proof that the government is too damn big
i'm so angry about VA- from Spanberger to Kaine. Disgusting. Starting to hate this state.

Well, then there's also Amazon...

Agree. Why, for instance, should the Department of Agriculture be located in a place that doesn't a big agriculture industry?
Why shouldn't the Federal Railroad Administration be located in a place with a lot of railroad traffic like Texas?
It’s not the states fault. All the swamp entities are in NOVA so I’m sure they have a vested interest in rigging VA elections
even worse is that nasty Spanberger zoom meeting audio. she's so fake. "when i was in the CIA". we get it, you're an enemy of the people. shutup.
Lmao what an idiot. Everyone hates the CIA what did she think people were going to be like “oh wow how impressive”
normie soccer-moms that think like The View probably see it as empowering. anyone that knows about the CIA realizes it makes her intensely suspicious.
oh yea...California enters the chat...
DC is a cancer. It has destroyed Virginia and Maryland.
