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

It's only a waste if you don't enjoy it. Just like some people think painting a bunch of nonsensical images is a waste of time and money but you might thoroughly enjoy it

At least in that case you have a choice of whether or not to look at those nonsensical images. With fireworks the general disruption and potential danger is not a choice.

You can always hide in my basement, I've got video games and ice cream down there. We can play a game of twister if you'd like 🙂
