Scott Galloway Calls for an ‘Economic Strike:’ ‘Trump Responds to Markets,’ ‘It Needs to Be a Month’

EXCERPT:

GALLOWAY: "Something I’m spending a lot of time thinking about and trying to get some politicians on board with, and some public figures, is the following: If you want to look at the fast as political movement in history, it was actually about exactly six years ago, and that was 2020, when the GDP went down 31% because of Covid, we had the greatest political movement in history in terms of actual move to action. And my fear is that every few years we protest, we make signs, we chant, we gather, it feels good, it looks great on CNN, and then nothing happens. If you want to understand real power and the difference between being right and being effective, stop watching protests and start watching gross domestic product, specifically GDP. Trump does not respond to outrage. He responds to markets. And that’s not cynicism. It’s mechanics. I’m not talking about a labor strike. This isn’t unions, picket lines or collective bargaining. I’m talking about something quieter, far more unsettling to the system, and that is an economic strike, a short-term coordinated withdrawal from spending and maybe work. No marching, no slogans. Just less."
