Can an economic strike send an effective message to the government? Kara and Scott discuss the ways people can use their wallets to protest, including a new resource from Scott himself — resistandunsubscribe.com. Plus, Kara is not impressed with Tim Cook’s call for de-escalation in Minnesota. Then, will landmark lawsuits over social media addiction lead to any lasting change? And the S&P 500 crosses the 7,000 mark for the first time, ahead of major Big Tech earnings from, Meta, Microsoft, and Tesla. Also, Kara’s new CNN show has a name: Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever!
