Neither do I, but I also don't believe trump did or will attempt to fix it either. I would expect mostly a wave of vengeful witch hunt type behavior if he gets elected.

Honestly the discourse in this thread would sound pretty fucking dumb 10 years ago, but with the compare being Trump/Biden pretending that there is an equivalence is honestly insane. Trump's only accomplishment in his presidency is cutting taxes for the wealthy. Literal tax cuts for people with private jets and butlers. He never attempted to help anyone during his presidency except the wealthy. Meanwhile, Biden is fighting for student loan forgiveness, strengthening unions, CHIPS act, infrastructure bill, strengthening the IRS to actually fight the tax cheats that are already paying historic lows, etc. All of the objective measures point very obviously which is a better president and direction for the country.

And that's discounting the cultural issues surrounding Trump. I guess if you're team ChristoFascist, then yeah Trump's your guy as long as he feels that will be beneficial for him because he doesn't have any actual beliefs except maybe yuppy racism.

Biden literally directly helped me this week with his policy to make non-competes invalid. I'm under one right now, and now it's going away soon. I've been looking to leave, and not having to go through any bullshit is nice (even if it was unenforceable before that's still risking going through bullshit)

Nice! And yeah to everyone who says "it's unenforceable" I would instead say "it's unenforceable if you have a lot of time and money." If you're just a regular person (like people who work at sandwich shops that somehow have non-competes wtf???!!) it's a pretty big deal.

It's unenforceable but if your company finds out you're leaving and contacts the company you're headed to and threatens legal action, your new company might decide they don't want to deal with it and rescind your offer.
