It was the opposite in SLC, fireworks were going off all over for a good 5-6 hours. I surmised everyone was just lighting off all the stock they had since tariffs and drones are going to make them more expensive and dangerous than they’re worth.
Still got a pile of bottle rockets and Roman candles in the closet but lately I feel more like pointing them at masked white dudes than doing anything to celebrate America

Fireworks are damned expensive. We didn’t buy any this year because I’m not about to spend $200 to shoot off five fountains.

I bought $200 worth of fireworks 20-ish years ago and have never used them. its like 50 mortars and a fuckton of firecrackers.
honestly, I never used them because I lost faith in my country back then. anything I feel for my country now resembles a dried up desiccated corpse.
