It seems like every judge confirmed during the Trump administration has declared war against the Biden administration. They need to be booted from the bench.
Knowing trade secrets doesn't do dilly if you don't have the resources to implement the secret knowledge.
Hell, we don't have the resources to implement the PUBLIC knowledge that cost us another contract (it's cloud data. We sell our software as on-prem because we don't want to deal with cloud BS and we are losing, over and over again, to cloud companies, because our potential clients don't want to deal with hardware. This sucks.)
In Silicon Valley we laugh at non-competes. It is in our very DNA thanks in part to "The Traitorous 8" to quit your job and start a company to put your old employer out of business. In fact, it you are not going to a competitor when you leave a job, everyone gives you side eye while trying to figure out what your angle is.
Ta, Dok. That NDAs can apply to fast food workers and suchlike low level employees in ANY position is a fucking travesty. We require the blue tsunami this November, from Harris-Walz at the top to the very bottom of every ballot. GOTV and VOTE!
NDAs are not unreasonable. I have signed NDA's simply to interview at a company because I was going to see their future plans as part of the interview process. Non-Competes are a whole other kettle of fish.
Whaddya wanna bet that "Clearance" Thomas would declare the 13th Amendment an unconstitutional taking of private property, if given the opportunity. He seldom lets an opportunity go by to raise the ladder he climbed a little further out of the reach of those from similar backgrounds.
i have a food snob’s background w/ plebian taste … i have a weakness for the In-n-Out ‘’ double-double & a few other select items at other venues … the prices have risen sharply & i won’t buy fries or drinks (drink prices are an outrage) … i have seen ‘’The Jungle’’ of fast food employment (unsanitary practices) in my younger days … fortunately my wife pretty much refuses to take meals out & she is an astounding cook 🧑🍳 … the use NDA’s for low level food employees is a farce, the only secrets they know is how health concerns are institutionally ignored by their employers …
Same. Did my time on the line and it left me with Big Ol' Opinions.
Home kitchens should be far more robust than they are. Most home equipment functions poorly when compared to commercial-grade. Ovens & stoves shouldn't need replacement for decades....
Agreed. I am, however, going to go from gas to induction at some point. I've been using a portable induction cooktop when I do cook. The wildly inadequate vent fan limits that.
yeah, I may get roasted for my fast food tastes, but I grew up on beef-and-cheddars and still like Arby's, and a Hardee's thickburger ("Carl's Jr." or whatever) is heads (and tails, I'm know, I know) above a meat puck from McDonalds or mush-burger from Burger King. (We don't have none of them new-fangled "fancy" fast food joints 'round here; hell, we don't even have an Arby's for that matter.)
All I hear lately is 'Nobody wants to work, I can't stuff my 500 pound fucking head with more crap because there are no slaves to slap the slop together and fling it at me.' Can't wait until this is actually true at this point.
Vote, vote, vote and WIN, then get on those impeachments and recalls to clear the Trump trash from the benches, friends.
I gave fond memories of my week working at Long John Silvers - I was broke and really needed the job - slipping on the incredibly greasy floor and omnipresent "batter" which was the majority of what ended up in most fish "platters."
I quit because it was so unsanitary and disgusting. Went to the plasma center, sold my bodily fluids, filled up the gas tank and found a construction site that was hiring laborers. I was much happier.
Seriously, though, who is going to track down a Jimmy John's employee at a Subway across town and try to sue them? It's not worth the legal fees for something at this sort of level. It really is just intimidation.
I'll admit I haven't read "The Wealth of Nations" in its entirety - but I believe that the problem with those right wingers who insist that all regulation is bad is the word "read". They haven't read anything to base their "economics" knowledge on - just parroting what they see and hear on right wing media
This is true. Their reading of TWoN is very selective, and misses Smith’s key point: by improving the “English Commerce” (e.g., the English national economy), all boats would rise (for Tory values of ‘all boats,’ so still far from universal) and the nation as a whole would prosper.
Their reading - really, Mises’ reading of it, filtered through pre-Lochner legal reasoning - is “unfettered capitalism is good for everyone, where ‘everyone’ is defined as ‘people who have enough money to live on their investments.” The philosophy does little more than provide cover for unashamed rentier behavior, which, more than arguably, DAMAGES the national economy.

Upfisting for the Zappa reference in your name
I did my time in food service. I'm still debating the merits of putting in a vent hood bigger than needed to enable a flattop.

I recently found a portable induction burner and love it. It's one of those tools that's improving my cooking.
Let them eat toilet cakes.
Or, hear me out, the Biden administration could just tell this judge to pound sand. Who's going to stop them? The police?
Arby's hasn't had the Arby-Q for over a decade. It was their only sandwich I ever really liked, I don't care if it was made from leftovers.
yeah, I may get roasted for my fast food tastes, but I grew up on beef-and-cheddars and still like Arby's, and a Hardee's thickburger ("Carl's Jr." or whatever) is heads (and tails, I'm know, I know) above a meat puck from McDonalds or mush-burger from Burger King.

It's worth it bc it sets precedent - a few of those will embolden employers and cow employees.
The sort of people who think that's a good think wear red hats and vote for empathy-free orange-turd beings.
"the funny-looking grey-greenish meat ends (not spoiled, just odd) went into the sauce vat for the Arby-Q sandwiches"
I worked at a Carl's Jr when I was a teenager. Which might explain why I am now a food snob...
> If we’re lucky, the case may eventually be resolved without the Supremes deciding that indentured servitude is also legal again.
That ship sailed w/ Dobbs; they made literal forced labor of pregnant women legal again. 🤢🤬
Of Course, opposing a ban on non-compete clauses flies directly in the face of the "leave it to the free market" attitude they take elsewhere
Even Adam Smith didn't believe in an unregulated free market.
Really.
Read "The Wealth of Nations."
He does acknowledge that governance helps.
It was Ludwig Mises and his band of idiots who insisted that any constraints on trade were inherently communistsocialistbadbadbad.

"...where ‘everyone’ is defined as ‘people who have enough money to live on their investments...."
Somehow, I think that definition is ignored as well as Smith's admission that regulation is both necessary and desirable
Agreed. That definition is implied - if you’re in the club, you know, and if not, well, you’re hoi polloi uberplebians anyhow, so who cares?
It’s not a healthy relationship with an economy.
and milton fucking friedman
Sometimes the free hand of the market needs a sharp whack with a ruler.
Anything what undermines the "right to work" state is nothing short of Communist!
