I have never before in my life seen anyone actually tackle corporate corruption and stand up for the working class. Lina Khan is a warrior and my hero!

Lina Khan ( and her staff) are performing a great service for the citizens of our country and the world. Noncompete clauses stifle competition which stifles innovation1 Keep it up Ms. Khan!

This makes more sense for the economy. You should be rejected from a job because of a more qualifying candidate not because you are handcuffed to your previous job.

I would not imagined myself listening to a FTC chair, was I so wrong ; she articulates so well and makes us all think about the true merits or capitalism not the pseudo one. Thanks Ms Khan for working towards the ‘perfect union’

I just started a new job. During the negotiation, they wanted to include a non-conpete that basically covered the entire state. I pointed out the hypocrisy that are recruiting me from a competing company, and if they wanted me they would not include a non-compete. They conceded that. I am probably one of the few people in my company not bound by this non compete. I am glad that this new ruling bans future non-competes. I don't want to work with people who are only there because they have to be there.

It’s employment at will. How about if company fires you and holds you to non compete

I am in agreement. Non-compete is similar to monopolizing talents in one company. A company will be too big to care and too big to fail, which will lead to executives misbehave with monetary. American tax payers end up paying. We could use more businesses and new ideas. Competition is always good for consumers and economy. A lake is stale limiting water, river is always flowing bring in freshness.
