And the Blocks will leave them out there. Between scabs and AP filler, the paper doesn't really look any different to the average reader. Subscriptions aren't hurting, ad revenue likely isn't down. Until there's a threat to their income, they won't come back to the table.
A question I do have, though: the writers are doing all this stuff now that the the PG wouldn't cover - small, community stuff that they should have been covering all along, but stuff that the Blocks don't give a fuck about. Does that coverage go away if they go back to work at PG? Because the Blocks aren't going to suddenly support small news.

What's different, and what will hopefully start to make a difference, is a lot of local politicians and organizations -- including Mayor Gainey -- are refusing to speak to the PG while its workers are on strike. When that gets to a critical mass, it's going to make certain kinds of journalism impossible.
God knows if the Blocks will ever buckle but god I hope for the workers' sake they do.

I've set my hosts file on my computer to redirect me away so I don't accidentally give that garbage any ad revenue.

The workers on strike at the PG have started their own newspaper here…check it out and support them if you can.

Rotten shame what happened to that newspaper. Used to be gold. That's what the right does to the media.
