Comment on Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?

I wouldn’t say it’s ridiculous if it’s once a year. If we did it every night…yeah. But people spend more money on a lot dumber stuff, like expensive purses and giant luxury trucks.

Yeah, the places that do it every night like Disneyland should get in some real trouble for it.

Around here (MidWest city), fireworks go off every night for a month before, and then a month after the fourth. And I don’t mean a small amount, either.

Basically, most of summer is devoted to fireworks play, with the fourth being a deluxe version of the “fun.”
