I heard Scott Galloway suggest this too. I think we need an economic strike for the whole Christmas season. #nospendChristmas. If you want to get children gifts fine or give to charity. But no adult gifts and no gifts for yourself from Black Friday till the new year. Who’s with me?
The greatest power individual citizens have in a capitalist society is with our wallets. Listen to this message and remember: if we organize and, say, even threatened a Christmas gift giving boycott? That’s when most major corporations make a large % of profits. They’ll absolutely 💩 themselves.

This helps provide an answer.

NEW find from @crew.bsky.social: Donald Trump recently applied for a trademark for a potential Trump Tower in Mexico, which means upcoming policy negotiations with Mexico must be considered in light of how they could give his business leverage.
