Dyson moans about state of UK science and tech, forgets to suck up his own mess

CaptainReality

Rent-seeker extraordinaire!

This out-of-touch rent seeker wants more non-compete agreements. Non-compete agreements don't help business in general; they hinder them by reducing labour mobility, making it harder for competing businesses to hire the staff they need. It's an economic net-negative, and also grossly immoral because it chains workers to their employer, under threat of losing their livelihoods.

Look at the largest tech. development location in the world: California. Worker non-competes are illegal there.

Good riddance, Dyson! Stay in your grubby money-laundering island-dictatorship of Singapore and don't come back. You no longer have anything useful to contribute.
