She ALREADY HAS A CLEARANCE you dense knob.

Are you drunk or something? We have established this multiple times. Is reading comprehension an issue for you or something?

It does not matter who can be cleared, it is besides the point

Not based on what you said.

And I don't give a rat's ass who employs you.

Then why imply me being a federal employee?

That was your comments.

I'm a PhD chemical engineer

Good for you?

I am NOT an expert on clearances,

Evidently. So why are you trying to state something that isn't true?

I am a working mom giving an innocent suggestion for which you yourself agreed is a 12-25% salary boost (and pray tell, no actually please don't, why it is worth that??

No you was not giving an innocent suggestion. You was giving a number based on nothing at all since we don't know the profession of OP. You literally threw out a number based on based on nothing.

Because it's so backlogged that it takes years to be cleared, maybe some processors need to get off Reddit) vs not having a clearance

No it doesn't. It doesn't take years. Top Secrets are taking about six months now.

This is another example of you talking about things that you don't understand.

It's not backlogged anymore.

Go crawl back to your clearance processing sub please and mansplain there.

I understand your hurt for being called out. It's okay to be wrong.
