How Bad Europe’s Energy Crisis Is

I assume you mean the FTC Act. Indeed it gives broad authority, but it isn’t unlimited.

FTC says “[..] it is an unfair method of competition—and therefore a violation of section 5” in their rule.

Indeed, the act gives them the ability to regulate unfair practices, but it’s not clear that this is unfair. Is it unfair if I get paid a good salary in return for not working for competitors? If they pay me for the years I can’t work after resigning, I would very much say no. If they don’t pay me for those years, I would say it could be seen as being unfair. But the rule is a blanket ban on all noncompetes essentially, even for senior executives! (Unless I’m reading it wrong.)

I’m for banning noncompetes, but I don’t think you can reasonably argue that the FTC has this ability.

I do think they could ban the subset that are clearly unfair without any issues FWIW, and I do hope they switch to this direction.

If only. The Nordic countries solve the problem with a very easy trick: They’ve lowered the ceiling by a tremendous amount!

There’s a reason people do their startups in the US, there’s a reason the smart Nords move to the US rather than the other way around. There’s a reason Y Combinator is American.

I encourage you to try innovating in Europe (or just the Nordic countries). Please prove me wrong, for the sake of Europe.

To be fair, it’s certainly not _impossible_ to move up, but it’s relatively much harder, which is the point.

Funny that the equivalent of the American president isn’t elected by the people.

In some ways she has even more power! Imagine if Congress couldn’t draft laws. Crazy.
