The only non compete contracts that should be allowed to exist are at the governmental level.
Can't have an ex-insider work to regulate the field they come from, can't have an ex-policy maker go work in a field they previously regulated.
I think there's a few private sector jobs that should be eligible for non competes. Mainly jobs like late night show hosts where the employer uses their own resources to establish a brand for an employee (here a tv host).
