Wait, did Chase actually say that? I thought it was a parody. Holy shit.
I'm reading (well, listening) to a book called "Trust me, I'm Lying" about the modern news cycle, and how lies and intentional outrage at lower levels (blogs and social media) get funneled up to traditional-media, and how that is driven by people like the author.
I wouldn't be surprised if causing outrage and later deleting the tweet and following up with a half-hearted non-apology was the intent all along.
Really great book, IMO. Same guy (Ryan Holiday) had a book about the conspiracy behind the Hulk Hogan sex tape ("Conspiracy") that was also real good.

I…..dont believe it. Theres no way, right?
Check my comment below.
2019, back in #avocadotoast days. When apparently we wasted our money on extravagances like "not the cheapest fruit/vegetables". Which wasn't even the case. We literally didn't even do that, we 100% had to eat the cheapest fruit/vegetable, if we were lucky enough that any fruit or vegetable met our budget. They were so out of touch that even their attempt to find a minor extravangance they thought we could afford to waste money on but shouldn't, was inaccessible.
What’s bizarre about the avocado toast thing is avocados were 2-4/$1 or a whole whopping $.79 ea then.
Not that it makes it a better argument, but the meme was that millennials were going out to restaurants for an 11$ latte and 15$ avocado toast instead of staying home for breakfast. The whole point, to them, was that coffee and avocado toast had some of the cheapest ingredients you could ever ask for.
I severely doubt a lot of the dumbass boomers thought it through well enough to claim that.

So follow my logic here, as it's rather complicated. If I eat the food in the fridge, there will be no more food in the fridge.
Anyway been poor has nothing to do with me spending money and everything to do with me not getting enough money. Rich people spend much more money than I do and yet they're fine, so clearly the spending of the money isn't actually the problem.

Their response:
“Our #MondayMotivation is to get better at #MondayMotivation tweets. Thanks for the feedback Twitter world.”
So… they’re essentially just saying that they promise to make better tweets to remedy the situation.
#doingtheirpart
They're saying that they feel bad that they didn't pull off the "cool, hip young attitude" that their test markets, data-points, cited studies and weeks of brainstorming sessions predicted, so now they're going to shift around leadership in the marketing teams and try to approach their social media presence from a different angle, one that appears respectful of modern social issues but also not afraid to throw out some media-safe zingers from time to time! Additionally, a newer model of AI to help reply to questions will surely connect with the people who are all so amazed by AI technology.
That sense you get reading this, that overwhelming desire to find something tall to hurl yourself off of... that's the reason we haven't done anything about climate change. We are answering the call of the void because we know deep inside there's no hope.
But they will never admit that making "humorous" and "irreverent" tweets are not something people actually want to read from a fucking bank.

eat the food that's already in the fridge
That is such a perfect crystalline out-of-touch rich-person take that it has to be a bait. Right? ...Right?

billionaires tell common people to not have coffee
Come on now, they said you can have some at home. Now go and retreat into the tiny box that you pay half your salary on and enjoy your life peasant.

worst bank ive ever had the displeasure of using, they'd take a $12 "service fee" out of my account that I was using for savings for not having direct deposit set up for it, while I was struggling financially. way to kick someone while they're down.

Credit union gang where you at?
Or small regional banks! They called me once when I wrote a huge check for a contractor but forgot to move the money, nice lady at the bank said I had enough money it just wasn't in the right account and the check is going to bounce, she inquired if I wanted to move the funds so the check would clear. Yes please! Closed all my other bank accounts with other banks and never looked back.

corporate twitter accounts suck ass
I know quite a couple of people making about 150k+/year and they live paycheck to paycheck. They spend money like it's nothing and can't save any money. This one person had to move back in with their parents after they lost their job after 10 years. They were making at least 150k/year for ten years and had no savings. They didn't even have any debt. They just spent every dollar they made. There are a lot of people like that and I would imagine the tweet is referring to those personality types. Like I know this one guy that took an Uber just to go 2 blocks.

Chase has apparently never read the famous work of literature, "Old Mother Hubbard." But then it may be too difficult for them.

Okay, but outside the context, this is good advice.
Poor people do have less money to waste
