How, exactly do you fail to see how a recommendation is a mandate?

Have you been living under a rock for the past 2+ years where their "recommendation" got countless wimp businesses to force MANDATES on their employees as well as customers - across the planet?

Since then, 100,000's of small businesses in the US have folded permanently eliminating competition for big business, unemployment is +20% and a variety of other shennanigans have been put in place to keep intellectually challenged (such as yourself) from seeing the big picture until it comes knocking on your door.
