[–] spoonie 9y ago ↗ It's about 18F and I think they mean "flounders" not "founders". [–] smacktoward 9y ago ↗ No, they mean founders, as in the sense of a ship foundering: "to fill with water and sink." (https://www.wordnik.com/words/founder)That being said, it's still not a great word choice as the multiple meanings of the word make for a hard-to-parse headline. (IMO.)
