Aren’t non-competes basically unenforceable anyway? At least for individual contributors. You can’t contractually ban an individual from making money from their literal profession.

Senior execs and company founders with privileged information are a different story.

Not American, but in my country non-compete clauses are routinely put into employment contracts even though they have been demonstrated to be illegal in most cases.

It’s simply used to intimidate the ignorant.

Depends on how bad you want to go to court, and how big of an asshole your former company is.

Biden should overrule that as an official act.

Yeah he could still go ahead with the student loan relief too for that matter. All the stuff they say no to he has the power to say yes again now

What is the point of “democracy” in the USA if unelected judges who were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote but won the presidency due to the slaveowner-designed electoral college can just nullify anything that is even slightly good? It’s almost as though amerikkka has always been a fascist dictatorship toward anyone who is not a rich white male and that this country desperately needs a communist revolution right now.

Keep your racism out of this. White people are also negatively affected by this.

This country was founded by white men, and built by enslaved black people. The white supremacy was baked right in from the beginning. Black Americans didn’t gain full civil rights until the 1960s (when my parents were in college.) The legacy of that white supremacy remains to this day, both from existing power structures and ways of thinking, and due generational wealth differences.

It is not racist to point that out.

There is no denying the legacy of non-white racism and genocide against native Americans and its horrible impact continues today. Racism is a real problem that hasn’t gone away and should not be ignored.

Maybe I’m being an idealist, but when I see use of language from OP making it seem like theres some coordinated white people scheme to only benefit white people, it seems like a straw man argument made to demonize one specific race. I feel like we’re all getting pretty damn well shafted these days and we can work together to improve the lives of people in marginalized and underserved communities.

Imagine being so racist that you think discrimination of a particular race is not possible.

Go back to… Not being educated?

I don’t watch Joe Rogan and I’m not conservative.

In all of human history, conservatives have oppressed the normal people. That’s just who conservatives are at their core. They are natural, instinctive oppressors.

Never in history have conservatives been defeated by pacifism. Never. Swift, direct, forceful action is always required to defeat them.

The slower we are to act, the less likely we are to survive this. Every normal person you know is in mortal danger and no one is coming to save us. We need action.

Yes, Biden is a liberal, which is one of many reasons why he supports genocide. It’s nothing new for liberals. Just look at the history of the USA for instance. This hellhole couldn’t exist without genocide.
