      When was the conservative project ever about being “for the people”, though? These are the same morons that would have been Loyalists in the Revolutionary War.

        Yes, but even their most ardent supporters can’t “justify” this one, so hopefully some more will join the growing resistance. Republicans keep doing short-sighted shit that chips away at their base of support, which is why they’re trying to rig elections until they can ultimately find a way to do away with them entirely. Hopefully, enough of their base gets “woke” enough to stop them before then.

    In my experience, non-compete agreements don’t hold water in any court. You can’t prevent someone from working and earning a living. There’s no ‘consideration’ there.
