Burners have the highest level of entitlement on the planet

The fact you can feel "trapped" in a conversation is wild....

@@VioletLife8 Oh how life has a nasty surprise in store for you. Guess you've never had a boss, much less a job you could not afford to lose. No worries, reality will come crashing in on your sheltered life sooner than you might think. Having to communicate with others in order to maintain a job is not the "wild" part. That adjective instead applies to those who have not yet experienced life, nor the reality that everyone will have to do something they are not a fan of, especially if maintaining employment is the end goal.

The only thing more horrific is knowing that when you were born there's never a knitting needle around when you need one.

Yeah, nevermind the rest of the world. Spoiled brats stuck in the mud is much more important, right? Talk about a closet flat earth society.

My thoughts exactly #firstworldproblems 😑

When people live in the first world, they create problems 😎

Probably a dentist convention

Bout right. "We made one bad decision" Yeah you certainly did. That's what you get for paying $700 for a satanic pagan ritual offering crawling with CIA and FBI.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to get away from the crowds. That's why it's on such a huge expanse of land. Sure, the arial shots seem wild and the camping area seems crowded but you learn where the big crowds tend to be and it's easy to avoid them 🙂 there is so much room to adventure that you really don't feel like you're in a huge crowd 🙂 it's bigger than you realize until you try and walk from one end to the other. That's why everyone has bicycles.

Bobbi, I hear ya there, I want to get away from sheeple, no Thanks! I can have a good time all by myself!,,,

How big is the city/town you live in? you're likely living just as close to your neighbors

@@madpacifist A major City in the Mid-Atlantic, but the section I live in you hardly see anyone, I’m the only one that sits out in the backyard, the only one in my quadrant with outdoor lighting and tiki torches, playing multiple music genres and sometimes lighting off fireworks, it sounds weird but it’s true, people keep to themselves where I reside, hardly ever see them out front and definitely not out back, it is strange and boring sometimes but sooo quiet, old people are slowly winding up in nursing homes or dying off, younger people are replacing them as their homes go up for sale, and are gobbled up in 2 days even in this tight real estate market, and inflationary period. So, I answered your question, have a good day, or night.

And, they survived. How about all those people playing Doomsday prepper out there storing stuff on their property? Let's see how they do.

@@kbanghart Burner thinks he's some kind of badass 😆🤣

@@HansCSchellenberg Yes, some do. To be fair, props to most of these people who went out there. Never been and not sure I ever will

Sure interesting seeing the scene from the air! All in all seems like everybody got out in one piece. Sorry for the one guy who didn't. Rock festivals do their best to have some sort of nursing station but, with all those partiers, you just had to know something bad might happen. Out of 70,000 people, that's great odds! My suggestion for next year, just in case. Planks and plywood to put down for that next deluge!😂😂😂

The US is not a first world country.

Only some of them are rich.

@@bluepandaman their all rich on a global scale and many are super well resourced to even be able to attend. Don't lick their muddy boots.

​​​@@bluepandamanAnyone who can afford to get into BM is richer than most of the middle class in this U.S. country, I'd wager. Think about it. BM costs as much to attend as an ambulance costs to be called and utilized ($3.5-$5k), IF you don't outright buy a newer RV bc you've learned the hard Playa lessons by now (cost = at least $50k). Most middle class Americans hesitate or won't call 911 for an ambulance out of fear of the cost (bc they can't AFFORD it) and that's a LIFE saving need, not a privilege-packed art/psytrance fest in the middle of what would otherwise be pristine desert land. This is especially true for our POC. The amount of money and privilege required to not only afford--but prioritize--BM over having an emergency fund for ambulance calls or other major necessities should speak for itself. Rich isn't having millions--it's having enough to spend on a sOuL aWaKeNiNg JoUrNeY while others in your same social tier struggle to put food on their tables. BLM and NV put up with it bc of the $$ it brings to the local gov't. All around, BM and everything to do with it is all about the money, and for the attendees: the imagined special social status they all give themselves for "being a Burner". 🙄

that's what I thought! At least he admits it. Imagine how many don't even think the made a bad decision?

At least two bad decisions. That hair 💇‍♂

It's just a First World problem of snowflakes 🙂

@@MikiCab1 and those camo. pants, and that footwear, and......

You don't get how alkali playas work do you? That lake bed is hundreds of feet thick, Euclidian flat, and couldn't make a sinkhole if it wanted to. If you want to wish somebody ill like a sociopath, concentrate on the mud or thirst. ;)

I've heard Florida has some sinkholes. Maybe one can open up right underneath Mar a Lago

Like what?

They would run into the fire..

probably better than your average citizen who has a literal breakdown if their wifi goes out lol

Well, a large portion of attendees spent the time drinking and using an array of various street drugs as well as some prescription medication more than likely. They might not recognize a real obstacle in life. They surely did not recognize any weather reports released the day prior to arriving. It may be unfair to give them such credit as to recognizing an obstacle.

Better than the average keyboard commando here I'm sure. The 10 principles of BM are a real thing....including "radical self-reliance". :)

Sup gurl..32 m rich

​@@rockymarse-zt1th bruh

Haven't you heard? There's a vast right wing conspiracy that ultra rich libs are trying to kill them with mud, which is why they gave them an order not to leave. It all makes sense now. Sinister times.

@nomenclature9607It’s funny how you actually believe that. I know people that have attended multiple Burning Man events and they are very independent. People seem to hate on this event for some reason. It’s not my type of thing but I certainly don’t hate on it.

@nomenclature9607 Sometimes the only real logical thing to do is sit and wait. The mud is not going to let them out and they can’t be towed out. I think this things is being way over blown.

Exactly like a hurricane news media goes crazy 99% of the time ride it out at home. I used to live in Florida, everyone rode them out unless you were right on the water.

@@mtadams2009 No, most of them are roadside service folks.

Only a sociopath burns a man and parties after thousands literally just burned alive

Yea, the people I know who have been were giving away food on the last day so they wouldn't have to bring it home. In typical MSM fashion it was blown way out of proportion.

It's only the unprepared and impatient people that got themselves stuck. Veteran burners are prepared for such things.

The general public does not understand self reliance , because most people are not. It is an aspect of the festival that makes it unique, sociologically speaking. Artistically,... there are no competitors, due to lack of investment into diversity. Festivals seek novelty. This one is fine.

It was mud... 🥱

Ya'll obviously drank the Kool-Aid. 😂

makes sense - why should you? Same for me. I have way more enjoyment staying at home than dragging myself pathetically around to misery at the misfortune of my wallet.

Agreed 👍 lol

technically, if you off road your rental I'd read the contract: your insurance may not cover you in that case i.e. you go logging road in BC or even break down on native property you may not be covered for anything. !!!

"Get a job, and start acting like an adult."

he didn't listen to warnings about environmental issues - just thought everyone else was a problem but him and just wanted to do whatever he wants, feeling he can just get his way simply because he wants to - not because he actually cares about people's safety.

It's because you can't make roads out in the desert without permission. You will get in trouble by the BLM, the State of Nevada, Federal Department of the Interior, and a host of other agencies and departments if you one day decide to take a bulldozer out and randomly start plowing roads in the desert. Hope you like sharing an 8x12 concrete block room with a convicted felon for several years, because that's what will happen to you.

Exactly. That she mentioned this as some kind of unprecedented shows she's stupid (she doesn't know basic facts), she's lying (she is purposely misrepresenting things), and / or lazy (she can't be bothered to do 10 seconds of work). I've never been to BM but even I knew that it takes longer than 3 hours for any usual Exodus.

Dry Lake bed mud

no - the best entertainment is watching this unfold from our homes, because we knew better.

I am an avid backpacker and I check the weather all the time. This year while backpacking the LT in Vermont I got caught in a 10 inch one day rain storm that flooded many towns in the state. They did not predict this storm until very late in the day. Weather can move in very quickly.

@@mtadams2009 Hmm, The National Weather Service was predicting it. It was showing as remnants of tropical storm Hilary. But what the hell do I know. I'm only 65 and have spent my whole life in northern Arizona breeding, raising, and showing sport horses. You haul a larger slant-side horse trailer behind a Peterbilt loaded with millions of dollars worth of horses for close to 50 years and you learn the weather patterns. Nevada, like all the states in the southwest, is in monsoon season. It's been one hell of a monsoon season this year. I think it's called common sense, which isn't that common any more.

@@longwayaround7767 To be honest I would have not thought 1.5 inches of rain would have been such an issue. Then again I am not from Nevada. I still think the press is making more out of this than actually is. In few days all will be forgotten.

a lot of burners did and didn't go (myself) some decided to chance it and had a great time. its was the newbies and sparkle ponies who had a bad time

@@mtadams2009 Ahh, Rock City is set up every year in the middle of an area that is basically surrounded by mountains. Where do you think the run off goes?

And Apache attack helicopters to attack the mud.

as long as we get irrational people to stay away from ridiculously unsafe situations - then yes - bring it on!

​@@extropiantranshumanin that case, you would have to have everyone living on a low-lying coast in every country move inland

The Playa will completely recover in the spring runoff, when Lake Lahontan comes back (like it does every year) and smooths the surface out when it evaporates

@@kristabowers6725 Thanks for the information, you sound like someone that knows something!!!

Every damned year. Trash, puke, feces Everywhere And if they don't leave it there they bring it into town.

All these people know one thing about the desert, the word "playa"

@WillieDuitt1 Before the Pandemic, I was at 15 consecutive BMs, now on staff

😂

Burning man in the 90s was great. I don’t recognize what it’s become. Media presence, celebrities, Silicon Valley billionaires, vip tents, it just doesn’t seem fun anymore.

I don't understand what's fun about an abnormally large bonfire that adds to our GHG and, in turn, to the weather extremes currently facing our planet. It seems perfectly ironic that this would happen to an event like this.

me neither - I personally am repulsed by it - but I could only imagine those under constant stress would find an event like this to represent outwards what their brains look like inwards.

and the people who attended said they really 'care' about the climate and climate change - very angrily at that. Ironic isn't it? Everything about this event's ironic.@@losjojo

Nothing that you can’t experience anywhere else, with anyone else, on the planet.

What are you even talking about?

@kristabowers6725 I am talking about the warning of inclement weather storms as reflected by weather patterns and forecast of bad weather Sorry my comment was a bit muddy for you

@Soulfulvision1111 What I have issue with is your uninformed assumption that BM is all about drugs and sex. Seems maybe you're the one with mud in their eye

Just another day in Oklahoma. We use the weather as a excuse for these behaviors 😂

couldn't've said it better myself.

if they can't wait to leave - why go?

Actually, they were , the argument started in 2019 and it was burning man that started the fight that year. This situation is not over .

Karma😂

Uh OH..."Veterans" vs "Newbies" !

So you want to judge his whole life based on this. Yup typical comment section😅

Probably lots of abandoned vehicles as well...I am told that when this mud dries, it becomes like concrete. I have never been to a playa, so I wouldn't know....

Doesn't matter if junk can be traced back. Burning Man will be responsible for cleanup and cleanup costs.

The irony is that they claim to be for the environment.

No, there won't be. The first rule of Burning Man is leave nothing behind. I went 8x, some years back. Everyone followed that rule.

@@megansfo So crapping and peeing in the ancient lake bed is leaving no trace?? Ok, whatever. Wish the climate protesters were more effective.

so that they can experience worse? What's the matter with you?

​@@extropiantranshumanIf it doesn't rain, why would it be worse?

there's more than one issue than just rain - air pollution, etc. Saying 'if it doesn't rain' takes one away from the rest of the problems surrounding rain and a lack of it. It's all connected - disconnecting one variable just doesn't change anything! That said - it likely could rain more - so what does it matter? If it doesn't, then they get a false sense of safety and then maybe something even more destructive is coming their way. It's inevitable - at least the tiny bit of rain warned them to do better!@@kbanghart

well , the real nightmare with regard to this is a cruising ship - talking to any professional, it is clear that there is no equipment in the world to rescue 5000+ people in one place at the same time.

You forgot one major factor, there's tons of people around to help you. That's a heck of a lot different than being alone in the middle of the wilderness (this comment is aimed at the original person, not the cruise ship one)

@@kbanghartyes I agree. I once ended up in a car with my father on a country road in a traffic jam, and snow storm came - at the end it took 16hrs to get out. People around helped each other.

Not to be gross or anything but at 2 pounds of solid human waste per person per day times 73,000 people works out to 73 tons a day. Back when it was a much smaller event we used 5gal buckets with a toilet seat attached and in each bucket was Kitty litter. On the side of the bucket was attached a roll of toilet paper and a bag of kitty liter. You did your business and when done would scoop the Kitty liter over the poop until covered (helps keep the flies down) and be on your way. These buckets were placed out around the perimeter about 150 feet or so. No modesty shield just you and your bucket for God and everyone else to see. Those were the old days.
