Heard from a friend today who is moving to Tulsa as part of this program.

https://tulsaremote.com/

Moving expenses paid plus $500/month stipend for 1st year. $3500 moving expenses.

Too many young people moving away from the mid-west after graduation from college.

In addition, Tulsa and cities like it are trying attract businesses to locate there and occupy their real estate. It appears that many young people want no part of the anti-woke, anti-democracy establishment.

I regard these tax-base deserts as opportunities to turn quite a few red states blue. Thoughts?

and simultaneously they plan on making Women and LGBTQ and Jewish and Latino and Muslim and POC 2nd class citizens, how will that work?

Majority of mature adults regardless of age are not righty's. Interesting experiment.

This kind of program could turn the state blue, for sure.

No use moving to Tulsa if they suck on women's rights. It would be easier to move Michigan from a swing state to blue than to move Kansas from red to blue, wouldn't it?

There are reasons they have to pay people to move there and they ain't good.
