Last week, Bloomberg Opinion shared this elitist take on how people can deal with inflation that’s so bad, it might be more fitting for parody. It looks to be real, though. ” Inflation Stings Most If You Earn Less Than $300K. Here’s How to Deal ,” read Teresa Ghilarducci’s headline.
The piece is from March 13 and tweeted by Bloomberg Economics that day , but Bloomberg Opinion tweeted it on March 19, which our friends at Twitchy picked up on. While their tweets don’t often get much interaction, this one certainly did. As of early Sunday morning, the tweet has close to 7,500 comments, most of them expressing outrage. Of the 8,185 retweets, 7,081 are quoted retweets, similarly taking issue with such a piece. Of the reactions, many took note of how this sounds an awful lot like Marie Antoinette. Former Rep. Justin Amash had a great take as well. The headline and the tweet advertising the article are harsh enough, and it only gets worse from there. “More Americans than ever expect their finances to worsen as inflation hits a 40-year high. Do you really need that extra car?” the subheadline reads.
Ghilarducci suggests that people sell their car and take public transportation, “consume plants directly,” do not buy in bulk and share the cost with a friend if they must, and review credit cards for ” any unwanted recurring” charges.
Then, it gets even darker, having to do with pets, which even Ghilarducci acknowledges is “harsh,” though somehow that likely won’t make readers feel better. “If you’re one of the many Americans who became a new pet owner during the pandemic, you might want to rethink those costly pet medical needs. It may sound harsh, but researchers actually don’t recommend pet chemotherapy — which can cost […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
