That sucks for you. I've killed it during the Biden years. Bought a second home, a new car, a boat and completely remodeled my 1st home. I'm sorry that you made so many poor decisions. My "bad years" still put me at the top end of the 35% tax bracket for a single individual with a 6 figure tax withholding.

I left the Republican Party the day after the PA primary in 2016. I voted for Rand Paul and then I switched my party affiliation to Libertarian and voted for Gary Johnson. I laughed my ass off when Trump beat Hillary because she represents everything I hate about politicians and seeing Commies and Lefty Eliteists cry that night was absolutely hilarious. I've been in corporate IT sales for over 20 years. 2017-2019 were the most successful years I ever had. Companies were spending money like crazy and everything was awesome. In contrast, the past 4 years have been absolute dogshit. My company has laid off hundreds of people and every single customer I speak to from State Governments, Major Universities, Fortune 500 companies and major non profits are struggling. They're all hoarding cash on their balance sheet because interest rates are so high. I just had a conversation with the CIO of a multi billion dollar global manufacturing company who just had to put a 7 figure project on hold due to "economic uncertainty and budget pressures" - this is all a direct result of poor economic policy and future threats of corporate tax increases is going to make it a hundred times worse. This literally cost me about $140,000 in commission. So you can clutch your pearls and waive your "morals" in my face, but unless you're putting $140K in my bank account, I don't give a crap about anything else. It sucks that IT sales are down, but that has nothing to do with Trump vs Biden dude. I work in IT as well, I've seen it up close. Most of this is normal economic cycling, but a lot has to do with the impact Covid had on hiring. Economic policies did not cause IT to overhire and overheat salaries in the wake of Covid. Trump's sugar rush approach to economics is wholly unsustainable. The policies and legislation that Biden has put in place are going to be much better long term.

Hiring was on a sugar high during Covid for developers especially. Now it has flipped, employees are being extremely selective and hiring very few people. Given many major AI companies have LLMs built for assisting with code, I suspect that has a lot to do with it. Lower skilled coders become unnecessary.
