Not good. The O'Biden administration is only giving each household $700. The land grab victims are furious! They are also wondering where 2025 children went? That's how many are still unaccountable.
You know, it wasn't as bad as the media is making it out to be. Most of the people who got stuck did so after being asked to remain in camp and to not drive until the playa, what we call the dry lake bed on which the event is held, dries back out, which it does fairly rapidly after rain like this. I was there and work in Traffic Ops so I do kind of have the inside story here. The media found the worst of the worst and has portrayed it as true for the entire event site-wide. I drove off playa yesterday, having finally been able to go off shift, and only passed one stuck vehicle, a truck and trailer. The driver clearly drove outside the marked lanes provided and paid the price. Do stupid things, win stupid prizes. If only they had followed instructions, you know? Also, there was no Ebola, no cannibalism, no dysentery, and FEMA never showed up so don't believe the rumors and hype the media have promoted. LOL Most of the people who got stuck during Exodus did so because they willfully disregarded strong urging to stay in place in camp and NOT drive on the playa until it had dried sufficiently to do so safely. They panicked and, well, people are dumb panicky animals. When we see one person flipping out, we tend to do the same thing. If you read the Survival Guide and paid heed to what it said prior to making your preparations, you would know to not drive on wet playa. Heck, don't walk on it unless you absolutely have to. It sticks to everything very thickly and dries like concrete. Those who got stuck will likely have to pay to be dug out of the playa. Last I heard before I left yesterday is that the usual tow companies that service Burning Man weren't going to do that until things dry out well because they don't want to get stuck themselves.
I was there. I do remember seeing an RV driving on one of the roads, around 7:30 and F, and getting stuck at night. Other burners who toughed it out were laughing.
@@paulgermano7837 Pretty much and we staff were laughing at them, too, once we stopped cursing at them for being stupid enough to try to drive out on a sopping wet playa. We aren't technically required to help burners who get stuck but we do so to keep the peace and to help facilitate Exodus later. I wasn't far from there. 5:45 and E in the Black Hole. We were in a low spot so it was unusually muddy and wet there and very churned-up because of the foot traffic from staff heading to and from the commissary for meals. I opted for the sock method of getting around (just socks...they give great traction and mud doesn't build up on them). What did you opt for?
@@LauraS1 I toughed it out by going barefoot most of the time! It felt so good walking where it was very soft, and other times it was rough walking on the hardened clumps. Next time I'll bring some extra bags to wrap around my feet for better traction.
@@paulgermano7837 Nooooo, no bags. They're slick as snot in the mud and they build up mud more than socks do. Been there, done that, slid all over the place, ended up with two inch thick playa platforms. 😁 Bring extra athletic socks and put those over your bags or over your hopefully waterproof boots and you'll have traction. I hope you washed your feet well after going barefoot. I can't go totally barefoot due to diabetes. I'm trying to keep my feet good for as long as I can.
This was the perfect opportunity to replicate the "highway of death" that we put on Iraq. So many targets packed together. It's impossible to feel sorry for these people.
OK. I had the same thought of my time in 90 & 91. I'm going to be harsh but it's the highway of morans. Be prepared you can smoke your Dope, but have the proper vehicle, water, food and know the Seven P's ( prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance )...
Idiots indeed. I had my fair share of flipping everyone who left in this condition just to make it worse for themselves and everyone else cause the default world was that more important. We have everything we need at the event. People were making hot food n having a good time staying
I don't and I was there. I work in the Traffic Operations for Gate and Exodus and most people were their own worst enemy. We were strongly urging and asking people to please don't try to leave until the playa dried out sufficiently to do so safely but these folks willfully disregarded that advice and chose to get themselves stuck. The Bureau of Land Management has signs posted at EVERY lake access point (the playa is a dry lake bed during summers but an actual lake in the winters) that the playa is impassable when wet. It's not like attendees didn't know. If you got yourself stuck in the mud, you have no one to blame. The word among staff as I left was that the usual tow companies weren't keen to come out this year because they don't want to get stuck IN the playa themselves trying to extract others. I left yesterday evening after things had dried enough to safely drive on.
Truly self reliant on all those gas powered vehicles and propane tanks how many electric power stations are out there?what’s their carbon footprint?that should be great for that ecosystem and I’m sure they left that environment the way they found it
These are the same climate activists and 1% elite that tell you no us gas but as you can see they don’t live by that rule not to mention they are destroying that ecosystem such environmentalists
For people who hate capitalism and corporatism they sure do love paying a large fee just to get stuck in the desert. I looked up the reason why they pay large fees is because the organizers want to "expand" their reach... Sounds like capitalism with extra steps.
I can see these images making there way into a movie or 2. I wonder if done in the same place next year are they going to put down gravel or anything that will help aid them if it rains?
2 thumbs 👍👍 up ... Leave them alone........ To lose a place to live is something else... Leave them alone.... Let time tell for them.... Let time takes it's course.... Patients shine On
These lost souls schooled in "Self Reliance "
Wondering how the people in Maui are doing?
Well the investors and developers that are about to steal that land were partying in the desert and got stuck in mud

Thoughts and prayers to the people of Sudan
It's spelled Satan.
🤣🤣👌
😂😂😂😂
The rainbow says it all.
God is reminding us who is in charge.
Exactly 💯
@@manzo6335 no those were God's tears pouring down upon a lot of evil.
It was sent to test and cull the herd
If god agrees with you why does he keep sending hurricanes to Texas?
Between the traffic jams, diesel generators, Idling vehicles and burning the man and tower...HOW is that environmentally friendly again?
Prayers for Maui
It's a shame it stopped raining.
The rainbow is a gentle reminder of God’s grace.
You don’t know how rainbows work huh?

Carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant. More CO2 = more plants/trees.
God is trying to tell y'all something!!! He is the Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end!!!
Exactly just like Sodom and Gomorrah
Pray to who? these people believe in nothing.
God has spoken to these people, dont be influenced by the devil. DONT GO TO BURNINGMAN!
Right!!!
All the trash and vehicles gear abandoned and left behind. Way to go.
You'll think they would call it burning person??
Lake Mead was too low. Now we're upset by 1'' extra!
The amount of thoughts and prayers I'm willing to consider sending is in inverse proportion of the number of man-buns present in the event.
Oh I dunno...they seemed happy enough to me :)
Gods promise not to flood the earth shining bright.
Liberals think it means God supports lgbtq.
2 cm of rain is not a flood
They paid 500.00 dollars per ticket for this they are crazy .I would have charged them les money for that 😂😅😅
MOTHER Earth sick of the foolery. Cleaning her up....

God!!!!
I heard about this event through a viral video of a Ram 1500 TRX leaving the event like nothing happened
So many people ran out of drugs! That was the real panic
The Sun Yes , lets keep playing with what we Call Fire 🔥
Home boy @ 1:24 😂🤣
BURNING MAN......
GOD: "Hay Peter, watch iss".
For people who hate capitalism and corporatism they sure do love paying a large fee just to get stuck in the desert.
I looked up the reason why they pay large fees is because the organizers want to "expand" their reach... Sounds like capitalism with extra steps.
And how much do people pay for being there?
I can see these images making there way into a movie or 2.
I wonder if done in the same place next year are they going to put down gravel or anything that will help aid them if it rains?
If this doesn't speak in volume.....😮
My ears enjoyed their respective parts of the video

So none of these tech geniuses thought to check the weather?
So mucj for green ideology.
Set a small nuclear devise off and turn it to glass. True burning man.
GOD is awesome.
They will never be able to enjoy anything from now on until reparations is paid.
Destroy the seed of Satan
EXACTLY!!! But I'll bet you that they'll find some other way to party because they can't see the whole picture
Burning PERSON! REEEEEE!
Was that guy putting alkaline mud on his face 😂
Yep. Guess most of these white collar types don't know basic chemistry or biology.
Come back next year!
It'll be over 1K/ ticket...guaranteed. And they'll happily pay it.
Rain Man
STOP HAVING THIS SILLINESS! HAHA!!!! THATS WHAT Y'ALL GET!!! SOMETHING BAD IS REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN IF Y'ALL KEEP IT UP😢😢😢
Very sad evil not of this world 😮that’s for sure
Next time your looking at The burning man just consider what Jesus is going to do if you don't repent and turn from your sins
Hilarious 😂
Should have listened to the roadblocking climate change protesters.
They left trash everywhere. “Leave no trace” eh 🫥
Shut it down...make-'em all burn in San Francisco! No need to clean up anything. Win - Win!
