Oh boy, a bunch of government snowflakes are crying because the Trump administration peed in their cheerios by relocating them into the backwoods of flyover country.
They stood up and turned their backs on the Ag. Secretary in order to protest the decision:

From the Blaze:
On Thursday, the USDA announced plans to relocate the Economic Research Service and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture to the Kansas City, Missouri, region, in an effort to put the offices closer to farming areas.
“Following a rigorous site selection process, the Kansas City Region provides a win win,” Perdue said in a Thursday statement, “maximizing our mission function by putting taxpayer savings into programmatic outputs and providing affordability, easy commutes, and extraordinary living for our employees.”
“There is already a significant presence of USDA and federal government employees in the region, including the Kansas City ‘Ag Bank’ Federal Reserve,” Perdue’s statement concludes. “This agriculture talent pool, in addition to multiple land-grant and research universities within driving distance, provides access to a stable labor force for the future. The Kansas City Region will allow ERS and NIFA to increase efficiencies and effectiveness and bring important resources and manpower closer to all of our customers.”

BOO HOO, they have to leave one of the most expensive places in the country and learn how to live in Kansas City. Let’s all cry a river for them.
Or, they could pretend to be adults and deal with change. Now, this is not an affliction of just government employees. Americans in general just don’t move as much anymore. They used to chase jobs, opportunities, and take chances to get ahead. Now they whine if opportunity doesn’t come to them. In fact, a LOT of our politics can be explained by the very attitude these government employees are exhibiting….
