This is a well-written, architecturally attractive piece of journalism (mostly) and a genius observation of a real economy at Burning Man. The Org is going to need to consider the long-range impacts on "the event" if we truly hit recession levels--imagine a Burn with no sparkle!--but we're all still hoping for those policy adjustments that will certainly be coming in the long-winded, tone-deaf, Org blog posts. Sparkle pony soft landing, anyone?
Does the tech devaluations and dried up VC capital flow lead to the growth of the resilient dare I say resourceful pony (beyond their own swimwear line)? Or a new class of Transient (unhoused) ponies? Will the transient ponies live in mccarren park when not in Mexico City? Or will there be a surge in pony nuptials seeking longer term contracts (call it 3-5 years instead of 5-15 day contracts?). What would the sparkle toddler e-commerce market look like post a depression driven pony nuptial surge? So many questions
