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

It’s really simple. The Company—whatever the Company might be—will do absolutely everything it can get away with, i.e. the fines are less than profit. If you regulate it it will simply adapt and either subvert the regulation or buy the regulators which are, praise Hayek, for sale—cheap!

Whatever you do they adapt and come at you again and again and again and again until you truly are human resources, entirely liquid, entirely without worth save as that resource.

This isn’t fighting the Borg. This is rooming with the Borg.
