new Fyre documentary on Netflix. Wow...

what an eye opener into the lives of a segment of society that are simply WTF in all respects - the wealth they can spend, the desire for wealth, the gullibility.

Kind of made my wife and I ill to watch it - but fascinating in a train wreck sense...

anyone else have an impression of this?

Who the hell has that kind of cash to throw around?

And can you imagine being on that team, like at the 2 week point, going, "yeah, we can do this."

They all got a good reality check. Too bad so many locals got stuck holding the bag.
