Look man, let me back off the intensity here a little bit and see if I can frame this in a light that makes more sense to you. Let's say the government wanted CRT training for all people in corporations with over 100 people, so the executive branch created a mandate that imposed huge, crippling fines if employees didn't take 20 hours of training every year. People would be forced between attending their jobs or learning about their white privilege. That's federal compulsion, plain and simple.

Now, if I were to make that argument, I'm sure Mikey would hop on here and say, well, there were already many corporations that required CRT training. In fact, he might add, many corporations WANTED to CRT training, and there is a long, established history of companies making it a prerequisite to work there. Therefore, even though there might be some companies that didn't want to enforce CRT training, it is not the government's fault that they eventually had to make those concessions and fire the workers who didn't take CRT training.

Can you look at the above and tell me that people didn't lose their jobs because of a direct rule implemented by the federal government? How is that not compulsion? Do we need to get into the semantics of these terms?
