Pepe Silvia Browne posted:means testing discounted tickets to burning man it's not means tested and you don't have to prove hardship or income, you just apply early and indicate you'd like to receive discounted tix. tix also get allocated to trusted groups to distribute to people who miss the deadline or otherwise don't have access to apply. anecdotally, there's low level of fraud because most people here are trustworthy and they also inspect your car at the gate to see if you're using a low income ticket but bringing a $1600 tent and an ebike and poo poo like that prices are high because of the large amount of infrastructure needed (toilets, etc) and because of the millions of dollars charged by the blm for the yearly permit

RBC posted:mud, my greatest weakness it's super hosed up dense mud that cakes on everything instantly and piles up. you can barely walk in it speaking of super hosed up dense things, I was 100% wrong and the low income tickets are means tested but the car searches are just for contraband like weapons and fireworks

a.lo posted:hiking through the mud does suck. but if you can make it on foot to a main road in two hours you're not all that "stranded" are you? the mud is a lot stickier than regular mud. you could be 3-6 miles from the road, which is a barely traveled rural route, then 5-8 miles from a larger but still barely traveled main road. in the mud this could take literally 12 hours to do. it's raining p hard again, but this morning a lot of people drove out on the drier parts of the playa. cops are letting people go happy to keep on the ground reports of diplo's ebola tho

Feels Villeneuve posted:thank god the cops gave the OK to leave the radical anarchistic gathering of artists the official line is that people shouldn't try driving out because it's very easy to get stuck in mud pits and gently caress yourself when medevacs aren't possible. the cops don't give a gently caress about that lmao at cspammers losing their poo poo over a festival that actually tries to be ancom when literally every other music festival in the country is a for profit cash grab with gated experiences baked in

Second Hand Meat Mouth posted:I've wondered how many murders happen at Burning Man and similarly remote conventions. p much never. one person died last year from some fucker's generator exhausting into their tent. I've heard 1-3 people have died this year from trying to run generators in standing water. I can't personally remember the last death from od. camps are stocked to the gills with narcan and the city has a very effective medical team. anyways, spent the whole day tramping the mud to check that people were warm, dry, fed, and watered from our camp's extra provisions and brought two people who were stuck in the mud into my housing. we'll see how things have actually shaken out now that it's 50 degrees but it should be dry enough for people with two wheel drive to get out. we're all taking care of each other here

gotta lot of work to do striking but if you're interested at all in bm, come out. I'm happy to give an insider's perspective on what happens here. very very little of the bureaucracy and public works are publicly accessible information, like the fact that there's a decent hospital with medical imaging and MDs on site. the media only reports on "dirty hippies rained out" and Twitter boosts awful techbro shitlords or influencers with Starlinks. I'm in a weird position where I have internet access from the org and can give a perspective that's none of the above. for all the social media panic that people were trapped here and desperate to get out of a himanitarian emergency, only 15% of people actually left yesterday when the gates opened because of how well-provisioned everyone is
