The Fyre Festival debacle was a bizarrely entertaining debacle that helped distract this country from the far more horrifying debacle happening in the White House, with the luxury-focused music festival in the Bahamas collapsing into anarchy once it became clear that practically no aspect of it had actually been properly planned out. Attendees who had paid thousands of dollars to hang out with Ja Rule and women in bikinis were abandoned at the festival site, fighting over scraps of food and scavenging for weapons that could be used to fight off packs of rabid dogs—or at least that’s how bad it seemed from the outside.
