"If you wanted the fastest blue line path ... I believe if you could convince America, the entire economy now is built on AI... if you could convince a bunch of Americans to cancel their ChatGPT or OpenAI accounts and all of a sudden OpenAI had to announce that their subscriptions had fallen off a cliff, that would ripple into Nvidia. That would ripple into Microsoft. And these are the people that Trump cares about."
"If you could figure out a way to basically kick a small number of companies related to the tech economy that account for 40% of the S&P right now ... if all of a sudden, if you took all of your money out of any JP Morgan-affiliated bank and transferred it to a local regional bank, if you cancelled all of your streaming media platforms, if you cancelled OpenAI and Anthropic and you said "I am not upgrading my Apple phone,""
Everyday Americans can push back against government overreach through deliberate economic choices and short-term coordinated withdrawal from spending. A targeted "economic strike" could quickly reduce GDP if wealthy households cut spending by 10% and middle- and lower-income households by 5%. Canceling AI subscriptions such as ChatGPT/OpenAI could ripple to Nvidia and Microsoft and affect market leaders. Shifting deposits from large banks to regional banks, canceling streaming services, refusing device upgrades, and boycotting top tech firms that make up a large share of the S&P can create market disruptions that force political leaders to respond to financial consequences.
