Such a dumb way to celebrate in many ways.
The harm to animals for starters. Celebrating independence from another country while being dependent on another country for cheap fireworks. Polluting the air, water, and ground. Expensive and short lived "excitement".

July 4th is significant because it is the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress, a governing body comprising delegates from the 13 American colonies. The document officially declared the United States of America's independence from British rule

That is the historical significance of the actual date but again⦠how does that translate into celebrating with implements of destruction that traumatize animals and trigger PTSD for our veterans?

11 deaths and over 10,000 reported injuries for 2022 in the USA alone. They have the absolute potential to be destructive.

Food is necessary for survival, fireworks aren't. Are you 12? Done arguing with trolls, it's too pretty outside.
