Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?

Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding members of society for sure. I guess all some people know is the sensationalized drugs and sex. A person died. This is a tragedy for an event that brings positivity into the world. Kind of annoyed.

No it doesn't. Poor as dirt and go almost every year. So many idiots in this thread have no idea what they're talking about. Just parroting the media.

What if I told you you could be less poor than dirt if you didn't buy overpriced festival tickets?

Clearly, people who classify themselves as "poor as dirt" should not be allowed to spend money on anything they consider fun.

Clearly, if you can afford $400 for a ticket you aren't "poor as dirt". But you go on ahead and decide what my message was :]

the people I knew who went in the past would usually pool money together in order to get all the camping supplies and gas money.
