#fyrefestival

[clubgop]

I feel like I am totally out of the loop but what the hell is #fyrefestival and what happen?

The old liberal bubble. Got to talk to tje kids man. "What the hells a JA RULE?"

[clubgop]

They could sell a child. Or a kidney. I'm not saying it would be easy, but Syrians are a resourceful people. Maybe a philanthropist like Bill Gates could offer to pay for their tickets.

You should try to eat the poor.

Shhhh...don't give them any ideas.

The way things are going now, I think some of our fellow Americans would take A Modest Proposal halfway seriously instead of as satire.

You mean the ones that whined like stuck pigs on 11/9/2016? The ones that asked how they were gonna explain the results of a democratic election to their children, what it's like to participate and NOT get a trophy? Those bitches?

After we landed, we drove to the festival site to assess our goods. When we arrived, my initial reaction was “huh.” This was not a model-filled private cay that was owned by Pablo Escobar. This was a development lot covered in gravel with a few tractors scattered around. There was not enough space to build all the tents and green rooms they would need. There was not a long, beautiful beach populated by swimming pigs. There were, however, a lot of sand flies that left me looking like I had smallpox. Still, I had hope.

My job as a talent producer was to coordinate travel and on-site logistics with the artists who would be performing: Blink 182, Major Lazer, Disclosure, among others, had already signed on. I would be working with an 11-person team and a few of the festival executives. The production team was all new hires and, before we arrived, we were led to believe things had been in motion for a while. But nothing had been done. Festival vendors weren’t in place, no stage had been rented, transportation had not been arranged. Frankly, we were standing on an empty gravel pit and no one had any idea how we were going to build a festival village from scratch.

...

Still, we proceeded. Thursday night we flew to Miami where we would work with a fully functioning internet connection. The artists still hadn’t been paid. It was my job to try and be charming while explaining to tour managers that no, there still was no money or a technical director for the festival. There was, somehow, a secured alcohol sponsor, however. This whole thing was playing out as a hilarious disaster. It was clear to most of us that nothing was going to come together at this rate.

The next day, things really started to fall apart. On Friday, lots of people on the production team got fired. I did not get fired. I did get a phone call that same night that said something along the lines of, “Congratulations, the guys will allow you to continue to work on the festival! For two thirds of what you asked for. And we’re not paying the artists yet.” So with that, I quit. I told the tour managers I had been in contact with that I was going to take myself off the project. And then I flew back to New York and waited eagerly for six weeks to see how Fyre Festival would play out.

This fucking guy? You waited for 6 weeks not trying to scream from the moutaintops that this was going to be a shitshow? Not that if he had tried to fulfill his duty as a decent person he would get any assitance from a member of the fake jacobin coporate whore media but you know, WTF?

The 1% thanks you for your slavish support.

We ain't shit to the .001% and their sycophants, yes-men, and servants thickly scattered among the 10%. To some of them, A Modest Proposal might just be very instructive.

Which ones?

I was thinking of Penner's but heydaralon's qualifies too.

It is opaque isn't. Sorry.

I was trying to infer that this particular criticism of the Democratic Party members (and too many are whinny excuse makers) was really supporting the 0.001%. Those who really are in control of both Parties. Because this left/right, back and forth, is really just a distraction to enable the elites to rob us all.
