But we're voting on a proposal and the proposal is the post. How is that not binding?

Regardless, not recycling the DAO's DEC would help tremendously DEC reaching peg. I don't think we will ever achieve a point where DEC is always at peg. There's a reason for the past 4+ years we've only managed to do it twice and for a very short time.

I also disagree that doing a bad deal for the DAO makes anything better. If the company can't survive without money from the DAO, we're delaying the inevitable. That money will dry up at some point. And that's not the message that Matt and now Dave has been giving us. They have told us that things are better now than they were at several points in the past.
