LauchsTrying to pay rent these days...
This is not a meme, but a reminder of a terrible time and this particular event. Post it in the history community, but not here. Why would we find something so sad funny?
It is in bad taste. To say the least.
Yup, I messed up and didn’t realize some folks wouldn’t read the caption below.
Next time I’ll have the caption included in the picture so as to avoid confusion.
The caption is there. Point isn’t that anyone missed it. Point is that this picture shouldn’t be used to complain about high rent. It’s also not about some people getting upset.
Using images of people suffering to make fun of a current situation is insensitive and disrespectful to the people who were suffering at the time. It also trivializes the situation and makes light of something that is serious and important. Essentially it isn’t ethical to use an image like this to make a point like yours.
It’s similar to someone posting a picture of a starving child and captioning it with “how I feel when I’m on diet.” It’s inappropriate, disrespectful and offensive.
Frankly, this post should be deleted for the same reasons.
