I've found Oregon's law to be something that could be a reasonable and realistic compromise on a national level. I personally would like to remove them completely as I feel like they are very Anti-American in spirit, but Oregon has something that addresses some of the worse abuses of non-competes and seems like it could make ground politically.

Why wouldn't California's ban on non-competes be a reasonable and realistic compromise?

I was thinking pragmatically. Obviously, there is resistance to California's ban or we would already have plenty of other states with similar laws. We live in a country of hundreds of millions of people and I try to look for ways to improve a situation with a solution that a majority would support today.

I prefer progress to perfect and I hope you feel the same.

Yes, Oregon's wage limit (4 person family) and 18 time limit help...

This coming from someone who's former employer tried to enforce a NDA on me.
