Galt

Galt is a shit hole, a town full of fake ass people, and wannabe gangsters. There is literally nothing to do here except smoke weed. If you grew up in Galt I am sorry, not all California towns are this shitty so don't lose hope in humanity just yet.
Tommy - Have you ever heard of a town called Galt? It's somewhere between Sacramento and Stockton.

Joey - Yeah, that's probably one of the shittiest towns in all of California don't ever move there.

Going Galt

Referencing the protagonist John Galt in Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged" where the aforementioned and fellow business tycoons go on strike to "stop the motor of the world" which leads to the collapse of the socialist society (true collectivism would be like the Borg) portrayed in the novel.

Thus "Going Galt" implies to either not start or cease being productive as a response to socialism.
