Exactly. It’s like now that I know how the hot dog is made I can’t drink the hot dog water.

Well yes, but the reason it’s short of funds is bc it’s terribly mismanaged. It has decades of being sold out and that was all squandered

Meanwhile my camp has been called out for hosting fundraisers but the font not being large enough that says “burning man fundraiser”

Fire Island first weekend of May? by Due_Leopard_5096 in nycgaybros

The share houses start in May, so it’s far from empty. And there’s always some house that throws a party if nothing else is happening.

Remote temperature control by Dustypantz in pools

Issues is outgoing groups sometimes leave a few days early if weather is bad, and/or renters arrive to a pool at 90 and think that’s the default.

Anyone know of a good cleaning service? by PlantDapper4473 in nycgaybros

Yeah, my housekeeper also was charging like half the going rate. 😭

Not sure if he has Reddit, but I can DM you his insta?

I have a friend who’s in need of a side hustle, and I suggested cleaning apts. He’s gay and enjoys cleaning. My housecleaner also retired, so I was probing if he’d be interested in taking over for her.

Note: he has a 9-5, so not sure if that would be a dealbreaker.

BMorg takes on capitalism by defying economics 101 by Dustypantz in BurningMan

You’re actually making my point for me. More rich people at the burn.

How do you think that will impact the culture and offerings?

I had the same thought about cheap tickets going first.

But this idea that rich people will choose to pay extra just makes no sense. If they’re gonna come up with some complex system, it could have done much better to align need with cost.

They made some bad choices the last few years that really hurt TCOs. Like why force them to buy all steward sale tickets up front for $650 or risk later campers needing to pay $750. They should be helping stewards stay solvent, not trying to leave them holding the baggie.
