big secret to happiness is just liking stuff. finding more stuff to like. finding ways to like stuff you didn’t before. recognizing what it feels like to like something and doubling down on that. what feels frivolous is actually the whole ballgame

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/browse…

So @LeeHepner and I wrote up the case for a little noticed and much derided, but insanely important, part of our political system. Trial lawyers. They bring 90% of the antitrust cases in America, which is why big business portrays them as sleazy monsters. thebignewsletter.com/p/the-c…
