“Frequent-flier miles are a tool of inequality. People who fly a lot for work (so overwhelmingly have high-status, well-paid jobs) then get free vacation for their families. It’s ridiculous when you think about it.” – somebody named Amanda Kolson Hurley.

On her site, Ms./Mx. Hurley describes herself/themself thusly: “I’m a journalist in the Washington, D.C., area who specializes in architecture and urban issues. Currently, I am a senior editor at CityLab, the city-focused publication of The Atlantic.”
My wife said, “Sounds like she makes lots of money.” So, does Hurley refuse offered frequent-flier miles?
She sounds like a big-city person who does not understand working people, nor does she wish to.
She later deleted the tweet, stating in part: “I clearly overlooked how many ppl on moderate incomes travel for work.”
No, you did not overlook anything. You assumed, you did not know, nor do you care.
