Burning Man, the Debauchery in the Desert, Dissolves into a Muddy Pigsty

The famous Burning Man festival is currently suffering from massive rains that have turned the desert pop-up town into a pigsty of mud, garbage, high, and naked people — one death has been reported so far. <blockquote> There are currently “a little over 70,000” people stranded at the festival in northwest Nevada due to the mud and flooding, according to Pershing County Sheriff’s Sgt. Nathan Carmichael. “Some people are walking out,” Carmichael told CNN on Sunday, but event organizers and local authorities are urging attendees to stay put until the roads are safe to travel.

Advertised, but not really because it’s all word-of-mouth that attracts the hordes of self-indulging post-teens, confused-twenty-somethings, lost-thirty-somethings, moguls, actors and actresses, <a href="https://brian-kean.medium.com/burning-man-the-debauchery-in-the-desert-dissolves-into-a-muddy-pigsty-b3f3e21d0a3a">Read More</a>
