Comment on Federal judge partially blocks U.S. ban on noncompetesparent

Not that I believe this, but it’s always possible there would have been even more economic success, and that the historical success is despite the ban not because of it.

No, I don't think so. Leaving a crappy company and taking one's skills to another that knows what it's doing is how the Valley's thrived. A noncompete would prevent that.

Dumb middle managers drive out the good people in CA. It's as simple as that. If they could prevent the good people from plying their trade elsewhere, there'd be no discipline on them at all.

How much innovation and small business is happening in industries where noncompetes are commonplace and how do salaries look?
