Elijah McCoy was born in 1844 in Ontario to formerly-enslaved parents from Kentucky. They saved enough to send him to Scotland to study mechanical #engineering. When he returned and couldn't get work in his field, he took a job as a train oilman and invented a method of automatic lubrication that eliminated the frequent stops trains had to make to oil up axles & bearings. Railroad companies asking for his product rather than copycat devices spawned the phrase "the real McCoy." #BlackHistoryMonth

This is a huge deal: The FTC proposed a sweeping ban on non-compete agreements.

30M Americans are trapped by these contracts.

The ban is estimated to increase wages by nearly $300 billion/year.

It's not a sure thing. Please flood the FTC with comments: https://www.regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2023-0007/document
