Avast ye mateys! No landlubber by the name of Lina Khan be thinkin' there be anythin' she can't do! Just this week, she and her swashbucklin' crew at the Federal Trade Commission be makin' a rule to ban non-compete agreements, takin' away the power of employers to keep their crew from joinin' rival ships. Arrr, what be next on their list of plunderin' deeds?
In true pirate fashion, it seems that Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan believes she can plunder and pillage as she pleases. Just this week, she and her crew of Democratic commissioners have set their sights on invalidating countless employment contracts without even seeking the approval of Congress.The FTC's massive 570-page rule has declared war on non-compete agreements, those pesky contracts that prevent workers from jumping ship to a competitor or starting their own ventures after leaving their current employer. These agreements have long been a staple in the employment world, but Khan and her crew have decided to hoist the Jolly Roger and put an end to them once and for all.
It seems that Khan's ambition knows no bounds, as she continues to expand the FTC's reach into new territories without fear or hesitation. With a hearty "Arrr!" and a wave of her cutlass, she has effectively changed the game for millions of workers and employers alike.
