    Burning man used to be a kind of neo-hippie artsy place, but in the past decades turned into tech-bros dropping acid and tripping balls.

    Nobody is at the risk of dying. Burning man tickets run from $500 to several thousand USD. Many of the silicon valley elites get there in private jets and helicopters. This is a place full of very wealthy people who will flap in the mud and then find a way out or call in supply drops.

      Do you really think that everyone there is a mutli millionaire? What about people who saved to go there? What about people that pooled their resources to get tickets?

      i’m not sure about that - i understand the hatred of billionaires, believe me, but multiple news sources are confirming there’s definitely been a death there and if it were someone that rich i feel like their name would be published?
