Within hours of the vote, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce pledged to sue the agency over the rule.
Fuck those guys.
Non-competes have been null and void in California for some time. Employees can also recover attorney fees if someone tries to enforce one. It’s one of the reasons startups can be started here without fear of persecution by a previous employer.
It’s great to see this become national policy.
Good on them. Noncompete clauses are bullshit and yet another tool to take away workers’ rights.
I’m writing in Lina Khan for president.
I protest voted one year because I hated the candidates. That was the year Trump got elected. I’m never doing that again. Lina’s well worth supporting in the next few elections, but the real options this year are already set. Everything else is equivalent to not voting at all.
I’m often torn when talking about how to vote in US elections because you guys have to balance ideology with the need to be pragmatic far more due to the First Past the Post (FPTP) voting system. The only way that Democrats get a serious signal that they need to move left is by voting for far-left candidates, even those who aren’t on the ballot, but that runs the risk of handing the election to the Republicans.
Y’all seriously need some Ranked Choice (RC) voting. I have never once voted for a major party number 1 in any election I’ve participated in, and that’s never caused my vote to be ‘wasted’ like it can be under FPTP. Mandatory voting would really help too - it would expose the fact that Republicans only make up around 30% of all people and they’d never be able to govern outside a coalition ever again.
I firmly believe that if the US got rid of the primary elections and implemented both RC and mandatory voting, we’d be nearing the end of Bernie Sanders’ second term right now.

I really would like nothing more than to get some tasty, tasty STAR voting up in this mess we call a democracy.
STAR voting, or ranked robin are possibilities as well. RCV has it’s problems. https://www.equal.vote/star_vs_rcv
If you want ranking Ranked Robin is better than RCV https://www.equal.vote/ranked_robin
Good news. Anything that gives Workers an improvement in power should be fully supported.
