I'm really trying to unpick why it's so repulsive to see wealthy corpos cos playing as free wheeling seekers.

Also if anyone thinks poors go to burning man I'll have you know me and my friends have to use a knife to slice a single bean for dinner and only have one old tie dyed shirt that we share and its all stretched out furthermore

let's brainstorm some more ways they can get out of there

people bring power tools to this thing right, you could start pulling vehicles sides and tops off and fashion a kind of sheet metal road. 5 miles, how many vehicles could it possibly take? Math goons?

Honestly just lay all those bicycles down in two straight lines, drive over that and don’t look back

My Facebook friend who is stuck at Churning Mud is in fact poor and going there was a bucket list item he saved up for for months, drove there with Internet strangers splitting gas money, and now he's freaked out about getting fired when he can't return to work on Tues.

Lol and lmao at the tech bros but spare a small "dang that sucks" for my friend.

Ya know, much like the solution to "there's a lot of shootings" is "don't have so many guns", maybe going to the middle of the desert to do drugs and have weird sex you feel you need to be in a desert for you could simply not.

I don't really care how burntman started, it's a dumb loving idea. There was a previous post about how actually TTRPG nerds go there and I struggle to see why paying $600+ to LARP in a desert is any better of an idea tbh.

Like, at least do your weird poo poo where you can be bailed out when something like this inevitably happens.

They need to find a way to enforce a better ratio of the actual weird and creative arts people vs. the horrible tech bro Coachella hangers-on. Like how night clubs enforce a women/men ratio and leave all the unaccompanied dorks standing in line outside

I've wondered how many murders happen at Burning Man and similarly remote conventions.

It would be fairly simple in regards to loving with someone's drugs in a way that no one would notice until it was too late. They crash and don't wake up, stash them where it looks like they're sleeping, perfect murder.

The idle rich seem like they'd engage in that kind of thing.

No real reason.

I mean, sure people can see weather forecasts, but Burning Man tickets aren't refundable so you wouldn't be getting that money back. Add to it any bullshit airlines might give you for canceling a week or two before the flight and any other issues that might arise from having made plans in advance (work leave, child and pet care, and so on) and I can understand why people would've gone anyway.

Yeah, people spend months planning and prepping for this sort of thing, usually.

It might cost a few thousand all up, but is really considered a sort of pilgrimage and entirely worth it in some crunchy circles.

It looks like things are going to be fine for most people, thankfully.

I went to Kx5 last fall at 37 and still had fun. Kaskade is kinda whatever in a festival setting, but he at least plays his best singles.
