Nothing that most people don't already know, with their own purchases. Biden is as much of a disaster for this nation as Carter was. Worse actually-Carter might have been incompetent, but he at least loved this country and tried. Everything Biden does appears to be aimed at making things worse for Americans.
The promise of democrat administrations:

lower personal wealth
more regulations
fewer personal freedoms

It is a dystopian dream come true.

My wife and I just secured new jobs and netted about 25% increase in our household income. Of course like everyone else, our investments are in the dumps. Overall, since I'm not so dependent on the ruling party for our financial success, life has been pretty good.

inflation has risen faster than wage growth for the past 15 months. This is the result.

While my 401 and 457 have lost value some, overall my wife and I have gained about 20% in the last two years.
I have had raises of 7.25%, 8% and 11% which more than offset any recent losses. We have never been better off financially than we are today. I don't consider any president alone as being capable of making my life better or worse. Without the support of the career politicians in congress and those citizens that keep voting for them, a president's hands would be tied.

I have not voted for president in the last two elections, because I have not liked either candidate, and could not live with myself voting for the "lesser of two evils."
