LOL, there are plenty of people at BM that can afford to do LITERALLY nothing else. Regional burns too.

Your perspective of poverty may be a bit skewed. You think junkies can AFFORD a heroin habit?

The definition of "poor" is subjective; I know people that have gone to burning man that met the federal definition of "poverty". Is that "poor" enough for you?

You also seem to be ignoring the people that can't afford to go that are sponsored by others as a gift.

We're clearly going to have to agree to disagree.
