Federal judges have blocked so much progress that Biden, his administration, and appointees have attempted to make. It’s absurd

Wow, the yoga example in the article is exactly why noncompetes are terrible. For those who didn’t read… A yoga studio owner didn’t like it when former employees opened up their own yoga studio nearby. So she added noncompete clauses to future contracts. In other words, she’s too inept to compete on delivering a quality product.
That’s why all non-compete contracts exist, and the same reason they should all be illegal.
If you spend time training someone, and they can turn around and go off on their own, what do you bring to the table? Why should they work for you, giving you the fruits of their labor in exchange for less pay? If you’re worried about competition, don’t train your competition. Do it better than they do. You aren’t entitled to the value of a person’s life just because you contributed to their expertise.
It makes some sense that if someone is going to invest time and money into training you to help them, they would not want you to immediately turn around and compete with them. So in that regard I understand it. But they’re usually abusive contracts that last way too long, far beyond what is reasonable, and cover many activities outside of direct competition such as stating that you can’t even accept another job in the same industry.
A lot of abuses and anti-competitive practices make sense. It makes sense to buy your competitors, and pay off regulators. “Smart business” is almost always an attempt to leverage factors outside of normal competition. You don’t win at capitalism by playing fair.
Yeah so give them a contract with a minimum period and a penalty clause if you leave early.
So we shouldn’t value teachers?
Of course we should. Teaching should be a highly compensated profession, and taxes should pay for every penny. Education pays dividends for society as a whole.
But teachers are not entitled to the production of their students. They should not expect students to be indebted or repay the education.
Small government and free market!
