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.

Personally I hate them and I think they are more harm than good.
Let's do some clarification: I can appreciate the high in the sky fireworks, while I simply hate those you fire by hand in between the legs of other bystanders.
Overall I think they are dangerous and should not be freely sold, while keep doing the big ones in the sky.
But, honestly, a form of art that harms so many people and animals maybe should be banned after all.
The danger is the fun part though. Big shows are boring because there’s no risk to you, and only the guys you can’t see.
Launching bottle rockets by hand, or shooting your friends with Roman candles is the best.
This year we leveled up our game and launched them from the drone.
I mean there is no good or use in fireworks, so that much is obvious
It's still a form of art, specially the "big" ones. The hand-handled one are totally useless and can disappear from the world for what I care.
In general, they are dangerous and should be banned overall. But won't happen any time soon.
“For my next masterpiece, I am going to murder several hundreds of birds, a dozen small woodland critters, 2 cats and 4 poodles! The pollution cloud will take weeks to clear completely! Biodiversity, several hectares around, will be decimated, it will take decades to recover and I will do it in only 15 minutes! Your grandpa will have a mental breakdown thinking he is back in 'nam!”
That feels... A bit exaggerated. You have any sources?
It's obviously a primary source, duh.
That being said, a few years ago we did lose a crow and a bluejay from the fireworks. We found them lying dead in the middle of the backyard the next morning.
This year however so far no dead animals.
Do you not know how to read? This whole post is filled with links and sources in the comments.
Oh cool a personal attack, that means you've definitely got your sources down and are arguing in good faith instead of becoming a whining 5 year old /s
It’s incredible all the constant dead animals all around Disney from the fireworks they constantly set off and on yeah, you are just as bad as the MAGA people only looking for sources that agree with your agenda.
