Corporate power threatens everything — including our ability to avert the climate crisis. But we're starting to figure out that it doesn't have to be this way. We're starting to make new rules. It's a big deal. My talk at this year's @bioneers conference: youtube.com/watch?v=GAZcWw…
No, seriously, Uber is deciding what driver gets what job based on their weight, whether they ever missed a payment, what political associations they have. Algorithmic wage discrimination should be made illegal before it becomes the dominant business model.

🚨NEW: How Amazon Ate The Economy How Amazon became a monopoly using its size against sellers & customers — and how a new lawsuit is challenging the company. Terrific reporting from the WSJ’s @DanaMattioli & ISLR’s @stacyfmitchell. Listen & share 👇 levernews.com/lever-time-ama…
Bright-line rules like the FTC’s ban on non-competes are superior public policy to an ad-hoc case-by-case review. Read my article in @CompPolicyInt for more on the benefits of rules and why we should have a lot more of them. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Small businesses previously expressed concern about these partnerships. Last November, @RisingSmallBiz sent a letter to the SBA asking them to cease relationship with monopolies. Clearly, @IsabelCGuzman and @SBAgov did not listen. smallbusinessrising.net/updates/nsbw
The outpouring of support today for FTCs noncompetes ban is pretty rare; it shows that there’s a broad consensus out there on a set of reforms ready for the taking
Once again, we're getting all these final rules today and this month because the Biden administration is trying to beat a May deadline that protects them from reversal by a potentially Republican Congress and Trump next year, as we explain today: prospect.org/politics/2024-…
🚨NEW: The company that filed suit against the FTC's noncompete ban wants to be "the Amazon of tax," is led by a GOP mega-donor who advised Trump on tax policy, and a company brochure once read: "We don’t just react to Texas tax changes. We engineer them" prospect.org/justice/2024-0…
"How people experience freedom in their day-to-day lives often involves their economic relationships...[T]he expansion of noncompete clauses locks workers into existing jobs." From my interview with @linakhanFTC, whose FTC just banned noncompetes. the.ink/p/lina-khan-ft…

On the restoration of Net Neutrality rules - after working on this for 22 years, I'm happy that the idea has passed from outsider proposal to something that feels like obvious common sense for one of life's main utilities
1) I eat my hat on Buttigieg, who I thought of as a McKinsey operator. He's doing really great work. 2) McGee is a hero to hundreds of thousands of fliers who will never know his name. What a difference a committed advocate makes!
I started in the airlines in 1985. In all that time there's no doubt I never heard the White House comment more frequently on airline service issues than in the last two years. Thankfully, we're also seeing steps to address these problems, as words translate into actions.
The outpouring of support today for FTCs noncompetes ban is pretty rare; it shows that there’s a broad consensus out there on a set of reforms ready for the taking
Check out this whole thread. Look at the way the noncompete rule includes stories of real people. Government-speak shouldn’t be for technocrats. Government should reflect the lives of the people it works for. It should be accountable to their needs. This is how it should look.
1. Today @FTC issued a final rule banning noncompetes for workers across the country. The rule will ensure that Americans have the freedom to pursue a new job, start a new business, or bring a new idea to market. ftc.gov/legal-library/…
Proud to see @econliberties’ @WilliamJMcGee introduce Sec. Buttigieg announcing the new rule that will make it easy for passengers to get refunds. Bill has been relentless in his fight for passenger rights and it’s fantastic to see the impact of our work.
