I assume this is a parody, right? DC bureaucrats aren’t actually saying out loud that moving to Missouri is ... punishment, are they? Because surely nobody could be that condescending & elitist.https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/10/21/white-house-didnt-like-my-agencys-research-so-it-sent-us-missouri/ …
“The agency has managed to hire a few sharp new researchers in Kansas City, but they’re just a drop in the bucket.” Because of course there are no smart people in Kansas City or the Midwest. You can’t make this stuff up.
I love the Midwest and I love living here, but many people don’t want to move here. Maybe they like the city or want to be near family or the ocean. Many people don’t know the midwest.
You certainly do have a chip the size of Missouri on your shoulder. (I sure hope you didn’t put “I’m smart” on your resume.) The research positions they need to fill require very specific skills, knowledge and experience. They KNEW it would be difficult to fill the positions.
The move to Missouri was in part an attempt to hollow out the Department. Scientific research of any kind is a threat to this - or any - Republican administration. But, sure. It’s much easier to scream “they’re Elitists!” than admit what’s really going on.

Maybe people don’t want to upend their lives, families and households to meet the capricious whims of a cabal of science denying pol’s who aim to enable carbon industry profiteering for a few more years
Expertise takes time to build. Institutional knowledge can be built over generations. It doesn't matter how many smart people are in Missouri when 80% of the department is driven from their jobs and all of that expertise and knowledge goes with it.
You literally don't understand scientific recruiting! The specialists in any field are going to be a very small number. It's rare that the people with the right skills and experience are already on your doorstep. You usually have to recruit from elsewhere.
And this is nothing about saying Missouri people aren't smart. Just that very few will have done the required scientific training and have the right CV for those specific jobs.
