AI6YR Ben"Do not poo" special message on the #BurningMan radio station. Porta potty conditions "can't be mentioned on the air". #mud #disaster
Clip from the Burning Man radio station about not going poo, and porta potties being "backed up". And also "finding a container and peeing in it instead" 😟
KellyAnn Romanych (she/her)@ai6yr I did not know burning man was a nonprofit. I checked their last 990 (2021). Quite a few staffers are 6 figures. ED was north of 325K. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/452638273

@kellyromanych Unfortunately, as I have learned, "nonprofit" doesn't mean you're not paying the executives a huge amount of money. See that a lot. In this case, probably less crazy than the nonprofit that states it is collecting "cars for poor orphans and windows" paying their execs a king's ransom and giving the orphans and widows $2.50.
__josh@ai6yr @kellyromanych Won’t somebody think of the windows? 😁
@kellyromanych @__josh They should have some professional event experience, although your mileage varies on how good folks are at contingency planning... I don't know this crew. There's the "let's run this really cool event, keep expenses down and make some dough" people, and there is "our job is to make sure this event goes off without a hitch.. make sure we have the contingency plans in place". Not idea how these folks are.
@kellyromanych @__josh Well, looks like it has exposed their oversight on the reliance on porta potties being emptied by large trucks for human sanitation. Sometimes the most basic of things breaks well laid emergency plans.
Darwin Woodka@ai6yr @kellyromanych yeah there's Children International which is always collecting in the mall by me. I just yell at them "Your CEO makes $4 million a year!" anytime they try to harass me.
