all have been modified and expanded in a way that most don't appreciate.

I am sympathetic to the arguments against most non-competes. I am concerned this is overly broad.

I hope all three get struck down and Congress has to vote them in. I suspect the OT changes will mostly hold. Title IX? Maybe not. And this too could be viewed as an overreach.

Pretty activist regulatory regime which is always my biggest issue with academic Dems.

P.S. FTC has lost in court on some M&A. But not deterred.

Probably the most defensible given the tortured history of this issue. The FTC rule is a watershed. It will be enjoined within the next two weeks.

California has idiotic OT rules. As long as we stay away from that we are fine.
