    I'm not sure what this will do to employment in the US. I'm subject to a non-compete agreement and so are my peers. We may see tons of people leaving their jobs and poaching by competitors. I suppose that's a good thing?? Maybe companies will be incentivized to pay more to keep their good employees?? But, I'm sure the consequences will be ugly. It's going to be harder for businesses to retain talent. Plus, the onboarding and training expenses are going to rise dramatically. This could impact the already pressured economy even more. Ironically, it's also going to be much harder to get a job because the new employer has to make a significant investment in you without a safeguard against you leaving for a competitor. And once you get the job, it's going to be harder to get access to key information in the company that can help you succeed. This is going to get weird.

    FTC bans all new non-compete clauses and strikes down most existing agreements https://www.geekwire.com/2024/ftc-bans-all-new-non-compete-clauses-and-strikes-down-most-existing-agreements/ {Lisa Stiffler | 23 Apriil 2024} Goodbye, non-competes. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission today released its final rules addressing non-compete clauses by banning all future agreements. Non-competes have traditionally restricted workers from taking jobs with a competitor or starting a competing business. The employment clauses — which are applied to wide-ranging businesses — have been particularly contentious and polarizing in the technology sector.

    NYC Man Convicted Over Gunsmithing Hobby After Judge Says 2nd Amendment 'Doesn't Exist in This Courtroom' https://redstate.com/jeffc/2024/04/22/brooklyn-man-convicted-over-gun-hobby-by-biased-ny-court-could-be-facing-harsh-sentence-n2173162 {Jeff Charles | 22 April 2024} A Brooklyn man has been convicted of 13 weapons charges after having been arrested and charged in 2022 for building his own firearms. Dexter Taylor’s ordeal could become a landmark Second Amendment case in light of the Bruen ruling handed down in the same year. From the beginning of Taylor’s trial, it was evident that the court would be biased against the defendant, according to Varghese, who explained that two judges presided over his case before the current official, Judge Abena Darkeh, took over.

    Vinoo Varghese Gives Update on Dexter Taylor's Second Amendment Case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko6ALqhgZEM {A Fresh Perspective with Jeff Charles | 22 April 2024} In this episode, Doni and I delved into the legal case of Dexter Taylor, a man recently convicted in New York for building firearms, with his lawyer Vinoo Varghese. Dexter is currently awaiting sentencing in Rikers Island. His trial highlighted challenges like restrictions on arguing Second Amendment rights, raising concerns about fair treatment in the legal process. The narrative showcases Taylor's personal strength and concern for others amidst the emotional toll of the trial, underscoring the absolute depraved tyranny that characterizes New York's justice system. 0:00:00: Introduction to Dexter Taylor's case 0:02:48: Dexter's background and firearm building

    Supreme Court agrees to hear dispute over Biden administration's "ghost guns" rule https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ghost-guns-supreme-court-biden-administration/ {Melissa Quinn | 22 April 2024} Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to review a lower court decision that invalidated a rule from the Biden administration that aimed to address the proliferation of crimes involving "ghost guns." The regulation at issue was implemented by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in April 2022 and imposed a series of requirements on manufacturers and sellers of so-called ghost guns, which are unserialized firearms that can be assembled from kits sold online. ATF's rule changed the definition of "firearm" under the Gun Control Act to include certain weapon parts kits, and clarified that it includes partially completed parts such as the frame or receiver. As a result of the regulation, covered manufacturers and sellers have to obtain licenses, mark their products with serial numbers, run background checks and keep purchase records, which are all required for firearms made and sold in the U.S.

    Um, like, people who were there at the time, like Thomas Massie, said the only reason Democrats and RINOs got to vote on it at all was because Johnson did a completely unprecedented steamroller on the members of his own party in the committee. According to this guy Whitney who wrote the OP, Trump helped him do it. So, yeah, Trump seems to have made it possible for a completely insufficient number of Republicans to vote no as it passed by. Er, like, yay?

Scott III | 29 March 2024} New Jersey’s quirky reputation is hard earned, but one peculiarity stands out: It’s the only place in America where you can’t pump your own gas. Laws against self-service gasoline used to be common: In the late 1960s, nearly half the states in the U.S. had one. But as fuel dispensers became safer and credit cards made paying at pumps possible, those states began to reconsider. By the early 1990s, nearly four out of five gas stations nationwide were self-serve.
