Why Young Women Saw The Sharpest Unemployment Spike
- Scott Galloway argues the unemployment spike for women 25 to 34 came from federal layoffs, return-to-office mandates, and a childcare crunch hitting one cohort at once.
- He ties it to probationary federal workers skewing female, mothers of toddlers losing flexibility, and post-subsidy childcare costs making work stop penciling out.
Treat Childcare And Flexibility As Economic Policy
- Companies should give caregivers more remote-work flexibility, and policymakers should treat childcare as economic infrastructure instead of optional social spending.
- Scott Galloway says remote work is bad for young workers but an unlock for caregivers, and universal childcare would keep more women in the labor force.
SpaceX Can Be Great And Still Be Overvalued
- Scott Galloway says SpaceX can be both an extraordinary company and a terrible stock at its IPO price.
- He highlights a roughly 125 times sales multiple, compares it with Google's 10 times sales at IPO, and says investors are rationalizing a price they already want.
