The World is Burning, Man

There was a lot of talk in the last few weeks about the climate’s cosmic retribution on the attendees of 2023 Burning Man. This story has everything - Diplo riding in dune buggies to escape the inches of mud and water that descended on the desert, a good dose of “I told ya so” from climate protesters, and commentary that went viral through the vast stretches of the internet, causing some deep (and sometimes uncomfortable) conversations around wealth, joy, and the state of our world. 

So is what happened at Burning Man the biblical sign of corporate greed that so many made it out to be? Or is there a more nuanced conversation to be had about organizations doing their best, but still being at the mercy of the Mother of All - Nature? This week, Kaleigh and Abhainn discuss the history of burning man, its slightly questionable tax status, and Abhainn swears that their wife saw actual combs going through the desert to pick up trash. As an added bonus, Kaleigh takes a major swing at Busch Gardens in Tampa.
