As thousands of people remain unable to leave the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert after heavy rains inundated their campsites with ankle-deep mud Saturday, authorities say they are investigating a death at the event.
Attendees were told to shelter in place in the Black Rock Desert and conserve food, water and fuel after a rainstorm swamped the area, forcing officials to halt any entering or leaving of the festival.
The remote area in northwest Nevada was hit with 2 to 3 months worth of rain – up to 0.8 inches – in just 24 hours between Friday and Saturday mornings. The heavy rainfall fell on dry desert grounds, whipping up thick, clay-like mud that festivalgoers say is too difficult to walk or bike through.
People gonna shit on the wealthy for going and still having the resources to get a way out almost no matter what.
People gonna shit on the middle class for trying to find a fun activity and deciding this looked like the best option for the week.
People gonna shit on the poors for being stupid by going and having no way out, possibly needing to be rescued.
People gonna shit on those who have enough time and resources in their life to go camping in the desert for a week and to see a bunch of wild people who are trying to get away from whatever square world they come from.
People gonna shit on everything no matter what. Ignore 'em.
Nobody should never “need” to be rescued and should always plan accordingly (10 essentials for us boy scouts, lol).
Anyways, rant over.
We aren’t shitting on anyone, just amused that perhaps less rich people exist now, and their own stupidity despite their ridiculous fortune. Same as the submarine thing. Tale as old as itme - sometimes it seems there’s a correlation between stupidity and wealth…
