These champions of "free markets" have spent decades defending policies like noncompetes, which makes it a crime for a fast-food worker to quit their job at Wendy's and take a job at the McDonald's across the street in order to get a $0.25/hour raise: pluralistic.net/2025/09/09/g... 46/

A felony to understand, to explore, to see our systems, to play or make our own the pieces of the world that surround us. What a sin, what a grevious spiritual sin. A legal attempt to undertake Homo Habilis, send us back to being pure animal.
