The best and worst thing about New Hampshire is that they have an absolutely bonkers number of state legislators for the population size. It's not impossible to *personally* knock on every door in the district. The good news is, this means the legislature is very inclusive and representative. The bad news is, this means the legislature is very inclusive and representative.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:In a 6-3 decision... Seems to me like a straight forward interstate commerce clause argument that the government has a legitimate interest in regulating skilled trades to spur innovation by regulating onerous burdens by employers on employees that no longer work for them. The article doesn't claim exactly what law the FTC says non-competes violate, if its existing law that the FTC has finally gotten around to interpret correctly then the USSC is probably even less likely to reverse it. And many states already ban or regulate non-competes, I'm not sure I see five votes to overturn.

For the benefit of discussion rooted in observable reality, here is the FTC landing page for the noncompete rule. https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/rules/noncompete-rule Here's the rule itself: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/noncompete-rule.pdf The justification of authority occurs on page 25.

I hope you're right, but considering the chamber of commerce is already screeching about it, let me predict how this plays out Texas branch sues --> 5th circuit makes another nonsense decision ---> scotus upholds because we aren't allowed nice things in this scenario, maybe the 5th circuit is entirely too broad and unilateral again and scotus doesn't have much of a choice, but I'm not hopeful

The state doesn't always live up to that rep (weed for instance), but it's been my experience more often than not. Very similar to a lot of Yoopers from Michigan.

The presidential map is the wrong map to look at for state level laws, it has a Republican governor (a real Republican, unlike Vermont) and Republican majorities in the legislature. It isn't surprising that electing Republicans to state government gets you Republican policy.

Seriously hoping that anti-polio poo poo doesn't catch on as the latest right wing cool thing. We have patients in their 60s and 70s who have required long leg braces to walk their entire life due to contracting polio when younger. I'm glad we can make their quality of life better now, but polio is a solved loving problem!

Even though Haley dropped out 50 years ago, she's at 17% in the Pennsylvania primary with 87% of the vote in. Pennsylvania is a closed primary.  edit: shirunei posted:what a moron. If you ban the kid's electrical dopamine app then they will likely protest vote against you. The bill only bans TikTok if ByteDance doesn't sell it within 270 days (the president may extend it to a year). The election is in 195 days.

Does ByteDance have to sell it to an American company? What's stopping them from creating an "independent" company in the EU through hedge fund chicanery and other financial obfuscation and selling it to that company, so they still get a profit from it but don't directly control the company.

The Department of Labor just issued a new rule that'll massively expand overtime pay eligibility for salaried workers. https://twitter.com/USDOL/status/1782818503927431484 That'll nearly double the threshold from $35k now to $58k by the start of 2025, and require the threshold to be adjusted for inflation every 3 years. Between that and the anti-noncompete rule earlier, looks like the Biden administration is getting pretty active about labor rights and protections. Unfortunately, it's only executive actions, so there's no guaranteeing it'll stick around under a new president.

the list of designated foreign adversaries was a last-minute trump thing i think, like it was published in january 2021, so its not like cuba's inclusion is some cold war artifact. anyway, it would be funny to sell tiktok to cuba and i think we should get bytedance to do it as a compromise.
