    Other states could offer relocation benefits to Nebraskans who are only there because moving is expensive. Let those states take a piece of the federal aid that would have gone to Nebraska proportional to the number of its residents they’ve taken in that year. Maybe for a number of years after too but it’d take someone more math/economics inclined than me to say how much or how long. Let them have the decrepit, backwards, rotting Republican utopia they dream of without the hostages.

    It won’t happen and there are tons of flaws with the idea. Still, I enjoy the thought of a world where this would have consequences on somebody other than the people directly harmed by these bad policies and decisions.
