I agree with you: this IS war and I can't help wondering if we're really winning. One reason is that most corporations are NOT on our side.

Considering the real possibility of a corporate collapse, wouldn't it be cheaper for the corporation to legally fight the mandate, especially when teamed up with other corporations willing to do the same?

CEOs and others at the top aren't, in many cases, interested in the long-term good of the corporation or the shareholders; bonuses tied to short-term stock price and other short-term targets guide their behavior. Also, large bribes can guide their behavior, as can blackmail. For that matter, many (not all) CEOs move from one corporation to the next frequently.

The "Get Woke [even though we know we'll] Go Broke" behavior of so many corporations is a solid example of this.
