That's a lot like saying you don't HAVE to give up your wallet to the mugger who just stuck a gun in your face. And it's true; you don't. You'll just suffer the "consequences," namely, getting shot.

That's all.

But by her lights, the mugger isn’t forcing you to give up your wallet.

In other words, the mugger isn’t FORCING you to do anything ( to go by her title ).

Your money or your life.

Participate or lose your business.
