    I can only speak for myself, but I do think fireworks should be much more regulated. Each year 10,000 people get hurt from fireworks in the US alone, and it’s pretty horrible for the environment. I do appreciate the cultural importance, so I don’t think completely banning them is the solution, but I think it would be much better if there were just a few organized firework shows, and no more fireworks for private use.

      That makes a ton of sense. I’m in Canada, where they are regulated. You really only ever see fireworks at organized events put on by towns/cities, and they are always awesome. One of my favourite things to watch as a kid.
