More Democratic Party policy that benefits average Americans! Needless to say, Dump or any other GQP/GOP president would never pursue such a policy. Of course not.

Suckaholic will be by any minute now to complain that this policy interferes with a free labor market and that it's perfectly acceptable to slap non-competes on burger flippers and sandwich makers because his GQP masters told him as much. If he can figure out out to post under his proper nick as opposed to one of his many shit trolls.

Fuck you.

Seems like a reasonable and practical action.

Under the FTC’s new rule, existing noncompetes for the vast majority of workers will no longer be enforceable after the rule’s effective date. Existing noncompetes for senior executives - who represent less than 0.75% of workers - can remain in force under the FTC’s final rule.


The Commission found that employers have several alternatives to noncompetes that still enable firms to protect their investments without having to enforce a noncompete.
Trade secret laws and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) both provide employers with well-established means to protect proprietary and other sensitive information. Researchers estimate that over 95% of workers with a noncompete already have an NDA.


Now, if we can return to a MERITOCRACY in the workplace; not basing performance and qualification on physical appearance or being a social outlier.

Lowering tax rates is a scam in your mind? Thanks for confirming your brain has been totally and completely reprogrammed.

See also you claim that Texas bussing illegal aliens to sanctuary cities would be immediately shut down.

No surprise that you don't view it as a scam, as you more than likely greatly profited from it.

But it was sold to the American public as the way to create jobs ("trickle down economics").

The evidence is now in and yes, it was a scam.

equitablegrowth are probably the same morons who predicted the Trump tax cuts would bankrupt the government and then conveniently ignored the government collecting record revenue every quarter since the tax cuts.

As was posted above nice source. Liberal think tank doesn’t like it? Shocker.

And yes I benefited, no one should be paying 39% + on any part of their income.

Oh and it’s too bad Texas hasn’t sent bus loads of illegal aliens to your hood. I am sure you would take them into your home and provide food and clothing for a few years. :meds:

You might have a point if that was actually happening. Of course, that isn't what this is about. Go on now and toddle off to your mommy so she can burp the progtard narrative sperm you have ingested.

You remain the dumbest fuck to ever mash submit on this self-fellating shit bucket.

You've been under "leftist" mind control for decades now.
When Reagan took office, the "misery index" was the worst anyone had ever seen. Unemployment, inflation, interest rates, etc.............ALL unbearable for every single American.
Reagans's policies LITERALLY took us from last to first, and as a result, He carried 49 of 50 states.
Mondale barely carried his home state by a whisker.
Reagan's policies were so hugely successful, that even the Clinton administration rode the tide of the previous 12 years.
Clinton AND Newt Gingrich worked together and balanced the budget. But like all democrat administrations, Clinton's final year brought recession that G W Bush inherited.
Yes, a recession was the result of Bill's final act.

So take your BS about Reagan elsewhere. You've been brainwashed in the cult of "leftism"

If your business is reliant on neutering former employees to not compete with you, then you don’t have a great business. Fuck you.

You can't be serious.

I work in a super-competitive industry full of NC's and have been subject to them all my career.

There is a lot of IP that would be potentially compromised if people were free to jump to competitors on a whim.

Everyone is not as ethical as your sorry ass, and the IP could be exploited.

There are also time limits on the NC.

Stick to the candy aisle numb nuts.

Wtf are you even typing? This is not the first time you’ve spouted that straw man term on this board.

If you can google/find one free market economist, dead or alive, who has ever used that term as a formal policy, it would be the first time.

It was a term completely made up by your ctrl+L programmers, so that you wouldn’t be enticed to ever discover for yourself how economics really work.

100% correct.
The left just "makes up" terms and changes the very definitions of words even.

"Culture appropriation"
"Fascism"
"Transphobia"
"Homophobia"
"Islamophobia"
"Obamaphobia"
"Culture vulture"
"White supremacy"
"White nationalist"
"LGBTQ"
"57 GENDERS"
"Men can give birth"
"White domestic terrorists"

etc..........etc............etc.............etc...............

There's lots more, but needless to say, the left has systematically brainwashed millions of "weak minded sheep" through the very education system, as well as the press and media.

College campuses were places for "diversity of thought" and the "exchange of ideas" but now they've become "indoctrination camps" led by left-wing extremists like Claudine Gay.

What was it that the soviet socialists president said 60 plus years ago? Anyone remember?
Khrushchev back in 1959,

"We will defeat you without firing a single shot"
"We will take America without firing a shot"

Chilling and prophetic words, to say the least.

They will defeat us by infiltrating our institutions with communist ideology and demoralizing our confidence in our own culture.

And you can replace the soviet socialists with the CCP of China. Makes no difference. Either way, today's left-wing democrats love Mao and hate Churchill.
Obama famously got rid of the bust of Churchill as soon as he settled into the white house.

When will people wake up and understand the HUGE DIFFERENCE between REAL LIBERALS and leftists? Understand that REAL liberals are the minority now. The leftists control the party now at the local, state and federal levels.

Left-wing socialists view themselves as "RULERS".
Republicans view themselves as "Leaders"

Obama's "Right -hand man" Valerie Jarrett was quoted as saying,
"We are ready to rule on day one", end quote.

President trump has always been a "liberty loving capitalist"

When you take a "long hard look" at reality instead of the bullshit propaganda flooding the airwaves, you begin to understand that the trump administration didn't go after their political enemies.
The current administration IS going after it's political enemies.

Take everything I said with a grain of salt.
But I promise you that if you start thinking critically, 🤔 your eyes will be opened.

The link you put up has a major disconnect
It fails to incorporate the effects of the worldwide pandemic which obviously derailed everything.

That said,

We do have actual data on 12 years of Reagan/Bush economic policies.
What is revealed are TWO DECADES of unparalleled economic growth at levels seldom seen.
Reagan inherited the worst misery index imaginable. Double digit inflation, interest rates, unemployment, etc..........etc.........
Reaganomics set the course for the biggest economic growth in history, so much so that by 1984, he missed carrying ALL 50 STATES by a whisker.
His policies were so fundamentally sound that even the market crash of 87' couldn't derail the growth.
In 93, Bill Clinton benefitted greatly from the Reagan Tsunami as DECADE NUMBER TWO was already underway.

What we DO KNOW is that Bill Clinton, Along with Speaker Newt Gingrich, balanced the budget.
And, the last year of the Clinton administration left George W. Bush with a recession.
THAT fact is well documented.

You can’t be pro-capitalist and against competition.The only thing wrong with this decision is that it doesn’t apply to 100% of the workforce.

I have not studied the issue. So I should not post what I am about to post. Could be wrong.

Non-compete clauses in employment contracts are generally only enforceable if they are reasonable in scope and limited in time, and do not deprive the employee from making a living after departing the business.

They are essential in some situations. Let’s say you own a company. And your company competes with another company. You have developed a customer list, sales tactics, pricing, suppliers, manufacturing techniques, etc. You need to hire people who are going to have access to that information. To prevent your competitor from crushing your business by accessing the people who know your secrets, you require them to sign an agreement that prohibits them from working for the competitor for five years. Seems reasonable to me. They can work for anyone else. But not for your direct competitor for a while.

If you strip that away from employers, they are less likely to hire people. And their business will be at risk of collapse from competitors with larger checkbooks. The rich get richer.

And don’t get me started on Agency rule making. Who elected the FTC to dictate business policy to all of us. Shouldn’t Congress be involved in this kind of decision-making? Again, the dictatorial Demotards are crushing Democracy.
