It teaches self-reliance, self-responsibility, and civic coordination.

That was the idea years ago. Attendees who simply pay to be delivered by private airplane to an RV pre-stocked with food and beverages, including a chef and somebody to do the clean up work aren't really learning anything except what the landscape looks like.

Or how much work their stylist has to do to get good pictures with all the dust or this year's mud.

Burning Man is a Satanic celebration.

Umm. I wonder if anyone bothered to look at the NWS 7 day weather forecast. I suspect it had some mention of rain in there. Maybe even torrential downpours. It’s called situational awareness. Comes in handy now and again.

I can’t think of a worse environment to be in.
Trapped with 70,000 weirdos in a desert.

If He doesn’t have a sense of humor, how do you explain nipples on men?

I guess no one ever wondered, if you are camping on a dry lake bed, how it got there in the first place.

You willing to pay for the fuel, maintenance, pilots wages for that strange hovering flying machine, and the supplies that you want dropped in?

Thought not.

They are there by CHOICE, those ancient lake beds have a tendency to get a little bit sticky and oozy when they get some rain on them.

Did none of these “BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE”, so intelligent and smart not pay attention to the weather forecasts!

There’s a whole lot of people there, are you willing to write a check (that won’t bounce) for the fuel, maintenance of the aircraft, pilots time, supplies and required insurance for your little gift to these idiots?

I’m not willing, and I doubt that you are!

My taxes are paying for millions to cross the border and destroy our nation now and we let Biden spend billions on all these illegals. 500,000 dead in Ukraine and my taxes are paying by the Billions$ to have Ukraine be destroyed and blame it on the Russians when it is a neocon war. Black Lives Matter destroyed inner cities and billions of dollars lost in these cities and America looks like a third world nation.

Our government does nothing but waste money so should they spend a few million to save a bunch of hedonistic dirty hippies? Because there are a few good innocent curious people at this event I would say yes, go help them so nobody is hurt, it is nothing compared to the waste and abuse of our tax dollars already and a few good people will be helped in the end. Why should we bail out the San Frasisco execs that run this thing and make millions from it? Americans don't let people die in the mud even if they do stupid things.

There are millions who practice self-reliance without the need to attend a freak show.
