Shacknews LoL

I still have my job!

That is certainly how I am viewing it. I will continue to build some things around this place, but yeah, the idea is that we can wait out the current media recession here. Shacknews is not levered to ad revenue, so the traffic issues don't directly impact our long-term financial health. And we are seeing a lot of growth on social platforms... like TikTok and Facebook (barf).

To add, while the judge says that at the time the migrants don't have enough to include the Florida govt in the suit, if they find such evidence during discovery (like who hired the transport company to do this) they can add the govt to their suit.
