— Harris promises to eliminate unnecessary college degree requirements for federal jobs through an executive order on her first day in office if she wins the presidency. (COMMENT: All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government, to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, my Democrat superiors in the federal government reduced or eliminated hiring, retention, and promotion requirements. Constructively, that rendered WORTHLESS my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less education than I had, b) who had less work experience than I had, c) who had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who had no professional license like the one I had.)
