Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?
300 million lbs of fireworks and 2.7 billion dollars gone in a cloud of smoke.

People launch large mortars in my area of 75,000 residents on a regular basis. It can scare the shit out of you if you're not expecting it. Sometimes people get shot over here as well. I wonder how the gunshot listening stations differentiate those noises.
They don’t. Those gunshot detectors are notorious for their false positives.
Interesting. Thank you. Only knew we have them, no idea if they even worked at all. That figures.
I'm in a city of 4 million and New years Eve is absolute chaos. It also accounts for about 1/4 of the emissions for the year!
