I've never been to Burning Man, but I've always admired what it stood for, and I'm saddened by the high-placed ignorance that threatens to destroy it.
No one begrudges billionaires for attending. They can go, as long as they leave the snooty class politics (for which that set of people, even if not all are guilty individually, is known) and exclusion at home. Being rich never made one PNG, because it went against the ethos to exclude a person because of the behavior of that person's social class in "the rest of the world".
The problem is that these assholes are bringing their rest-of-the-world exclusionary behavior into it. The same horrible thing they did to California, they're now doing to the Burning Man.
