Across America, employers are using noncompetes to claim ownership of employees' skills

late stage fucking capitalism

There was a episode of Doctor Who over the weekend where almost everyone on a space station got killed off. Why? Because the company that owned the station didn’t want to pay for the oxygen to keep them alive anymore. The Doctor stopped that by rigging the station to explode if the survivors died. That stopped the plan right away due to how much money the company would lose.

This non-compete thing is the next step toward that goal.
