We need to get tactical. If OpenAI’s revenue falls by 2%, it will make a difference. The best way to ignite positive change is to carry out an economic strike the tech CEOs can’t ignore.

The key is to mass boycott one company at a time. Use ChatGPT all the time?Switch to Gemini for now and never use ChatGPT again. In this way, we take down each company, one by one.

The 2024 election showed us that many people hold views different from ours. More are unhappy with recent developments. Maybe a lot more. I think we must hope that they care enough to change their behavior sufficiently to make a difference.

Show me the numbers that would make revenue fall by 2%. Most consumers don't pay for ChatGPT. Of the 400 million users only about 5% PAY. So...huh?? #EconSky

The company needs to show growth including in daily usage. Much of their value is related to a promise of future growth, use and the potential to covert use to paid subscription. As my gran would say they are living on the never never, anything that spooks the markets worth doing.

A ten million person march on Washington which stops ALL commerce will certainly get the attention of the fascists and the oligarchs. All the care about and respect is money, they can't kill or arrest 10 million..... If citizens stop ALL commerce they will be forced to deal with "the people"

Share this widely and encourage people you share it with to do a cursory background dive on Mr. Galloway. The reason I think he is exceptionally well-suited to this role is because, by most metrics, he is a very wealthy man who was not born wealthy. He knows intimately how a family lives on $40k/yr.

Any thoughts on asking those that can to travel to Canada or Mexico to spend money on products/services there? Bypassing tariffs, reducing sales of U.S. based companies and showing support for our neighboring countries we once didn’t try to shake down every couple of months?

OpenAI is nowhere near profitability - a two percent decline in revenue is only slightly deeper in the red. The real issue is that Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Nvidia are immune to consumer pressure. Those co's rely on enterprise customers. Labor and consumers just don't matter anymore.
