Alright, I'm going to launch explosives around your house. For several hours. Yes it is dangerous and terrible for wildlife and the environment. And yes your pets will get sick from eating the debris and you will feel terrorized inside your own home.
No you can't opt out of it. Everyone is doing it and frankly it's weird that you don't want to.
No you can't be the one launching the explosives you need a license for that. You can however launch these marginally smaller ones though. Yeah just whenever you want. 2am sounds great.
So anyway, fireworks were a mistake and it's never too early to start reminding you of that.
Celebrating america's freedom by triggering all of our traumatized veterans with inescapable rapid-fire explosions for three weeks straight!
Who the fuck even thought of this?
It makes more sense when you realize that Americans don't actually give a shit about their veterans, they just like virtue signalling like they do. The VA would be in much better shape if they actually cared.
Oh, trust me, I know. Especially republicans...
This is america, everyone here either doesn't care about or actively hates our own veterans. You got the right (red) who only likes them while they're overseas killing middle easterners, you got the right (blue) who doesn't think about them at all, and you have the left who think we're the villains in every armed conflict since WWII ("Kuwait? What's that?")
Caring about veterans makes you a tiny minority in this country
No one has ever accused Americans of being smart.
