>> mandates are not coercive
Wait, hold on. That's an actual argument you are making and not satire?
"Mandates are not coercive", that's a thought that actually went through your head and you thought, "Hmm, that sounds like a reasonable argument"?
- md8z 5y agoPlease read my follow up responses where I explain it further. Also your comment doesn't really have anything substantial in it that I can respond to, you may want to note these parts of the HN guidelines: "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community." "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."
- rufus_foreman 5y agoThe strongest plausible interpretation of "mandates are not coercive" is very weak.
- md8z 5y agoPlease see my explanations in the follow up responses where I give a stronger interpretation, thanks. Best of luck.
