A BLOOMBERG Opinion piece is getting backlash after a 'tone-deaf' tweet saying that inflation 'stings most' for those making under $300K a year.
"Nobody said this would be fun," the controversial tweet by Bloomberg Opinion reads, sparking thousands of people to react to the March 13 article by Teresa Ghilarducci.
Ghilarducci makes suggestions in the piece like pivoting to vegetables in order to avoid inflated meat prices, and taking the bus to avoid inflated gas prices.
"I expect those most affected will adjust to inflation in the classic way by shifting away from relatively expensive items toward close substitutes."
The author also recommends that people stop buying in bulk and begin taking a second look at their budgets and recurring fees.
Critics are slamming the article as elitist. Many are saying that Ghilarducci is sharing money-saving options that seem possible from a rich person's point of view but aren't as fair or simple as they seem.

Indeed. RIP out tongue, replace with glowing hot coal.
Gee, am I to hope my dog gets cancer so I can save $10,000?
Some of us never had the means to give our dogs chemo, but now we can bank 10K if they get sick.
I would have thought that this idiot was a 20-something idiot.
But she’s almost as old as I am!

This statement is quite true. it’s also quite true that a $300K income puts one in the top 5%.
Everyone note that face.

These Clinton pukes NEVER go away. She’s the one back in Slick’s time who called for a one-time assessment of EVERY Retirement, 401K and pension fund out there to fund Hillwitch’s Healthcare. She was talking like 10-15%. A frigging socialist. Still is one.
A classic case of “I’ve got mine!”

Stolen elections have really bad consequences.
(Bloomberg should hire me for $1,000,000 and I would write stuff that would make 100 x more sense. It would be a bargain for them.)
IIRC, that line of thinking came along with Hillary’s Health Care initiative. Give the government your retirement and let them take care of you. But she did at one time call for a flat out taking of 10-15% of the funds out there to get the Health Care ball rolling.
I was about to ask, remembered that name. Thanks.
Probably 99% are making under $300 K annualy.
Not just HillaryCare. She even tried to BS Trump.
