I agree. Non-competes should be seen as a direct contradiction of antitrust laws. It's a blatant violation of freedom and it hurts the economy. It's wrong regardless of skill level. If the worker is skilled, then it is their right to choose what they do with it. If investors have the right to invest their capital in two competing companies at the same time (or hundreds of competitors; as it happens when they invest in stock indexes like S&P500), then definitely a worker should be allowed to work for two competitors at the same time. Workers should be allowed to put themselves in positions of leverage using their skills as a bargaining tool.
