Normally a deleted tweet wouldn't warrant a thread, but even politicians are getting in on the dunking.
FWIW they did apologize. (and still got ratioed)
More dunks in the Twitter search.
Chase Bank makes bad tweet about saving money; deletes it, but the Streisand Effect takes over

That's how advertising works these days. Trying to get you to personalize these companies so you're thinking about them.
Even if it was a more explicit apology, no one would accept it anyway. That's not how twitter works.
This seems like a thing a financial planner would post to their small Facebook group, then a social media employee at chase saw it and decided it was good to post. If this came from retirement expert/meme account/or your uncle it wouldn't be a big deal. but coming from a big corporation that underpays employees and is only afloat because of a government bail out... yeah...
I mean, they're not wrong. I've cut back on all the coffee I get throughout the week and how many time we eat out and how I plan my meals for leftovers, and what a surprise, my savings accounts gained an extra $600 last month.
I'm not saying this tweet is NOT tasteless, or just bad form, but just re-iterating it's not entirely wrong, either, from personal experience.

As someone who currently lives paycheck to paycheck, fuck chase. Assholes.

Lmao I just can’t

Me: Why is my balance so low?
Bank Account: Because some weird ass federal regulation that makes no sense only allows 6 transfers between savings and checkings in a month

Should have been a more blatant attack on millennials imo. You: wants a snack so Buys avocado toast from whole foods
Make your own coffee at home.
Eat food you already have.
Walk three blocks instead of taking a cab.
Explain how those are not good ideas?
If the solution to being poor was making your own coffee, eating at home and not taking taxi cabs, we wouldn't have a major bank making a stupid tweet about how easy it is not to be poor.
It's insulting to individuals and families who already sacrifice those "luxuries" and still can't make ends meet.
I don't get how people can argue against that. It is basically just saying don't uselessly spend money if you have the option not to.
Gratuitous frivolous spending is a good habit? The take away here isn’t to stop spoiling yourself, but to only do so in moderation. Don’t be wasteful and don’t have a consumeristic “spend first” mentality. All good advice, but it’s tone deaf from Chase
I don't drink coffee and haven't used a cab in years, but I do spend too much on food. Thanks, Chase!
Also, thanks for the credit card at 24% APR, that I try never to use.

4 in 10 adults can't scrape together 400 bucks in case of emergency.
This isn't because they're buying coffee or driving three blocks away. It's because their part-time jobs don't pay them enough to accumulate any kind of savings. To have a multibillion dollar corporation that had its hand up the ass of the 2008 financial collapse and housed Bernie Fucking Madoff click its proverbial tongue over why people have no savings in a glib, myopic tweet is no kind of good advice and you aren't even making the smallest effort to build the case that it is.
You think people have low bank accounts because they are spending money frivolously or because they are living pay check to pay check where rent eats up 50% and then they add in student loans, healthcare, transportation to work, and food?
Tell me, where is the good point?
It's not a major bank making the tweet it's likely a low paid social media intern that'll now be fired because of the negative reaction to a harmless tweet.
It absolutely does.
You obviously haven't met my homie, Arby's. FOH with the lies
Damn, son. Thanks for this invaluable insight. Go tell this to the 40% of Americans that can't scrape together $400.
