The waste of money on a stupid idea is offending the author in light of the increasing issue of wealth discrepancy and homelessness in SF. This may not be offensive to all, but is not inappropriate usage.
- imartin2k 9y agoIt might not be inappropriate to you, but I'd argue it's counterproductive to use it. If the idea is to find allies outside of certain digital echo chambers of very like-minded people who all would instanly agree on the offensiveness, then it's not working, as outside of such groups, the concepts of what's offensive and what's not are very different. It's like someone highly involved in church talks to non-religious people on the street in the same way as to members of the church, assuming that they by definition have the same context & associations. This assumption then could be considered a sign of ignorance from the church representative, who seemingly isn't even aware of what he/she is doing.
