    My favorite is by far Burning Man. A bunch of millionaires, billionaires, capitalists, tycoons, celebrities, and influencers all getting together to act like they’re poor hippies while they have every luxury known to man.

        “Leave no trace” when the entire 1 week event has a carbon footprint of 100,000 tons, which is equivalent to 22,000 cars driving 10,000 miles each in a year, or roughly the CO2 output of many small cities in a year.

        That’s not even including transportation, airfare, and the cost of the good they’re consuming.

          I brought that up when the bazinga orgy was still going on this year, and some smuglord said that actually the mission statement is to leave no trace and that the foundation takes care of all the litter.

          unsure

            My overwhelming joy when they got rained in, and then my overwhelming disappointment when Our Father God did not wash them out and drown them in their own hubris. (Minus the workers forced to be there).
