Cause of death: the autopsy

The deadline was 4 October 2026, but a federal judge blocked the law in July 2026, so there is no date left to sell against.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
