    I think the whole fireworks thing is a bigger reason most Americans celebrate it than anything else.

      These fuckers will take out a god damn second mortgage in order to buy fireworks. I seriously don’t know how else some of these ppl pay for them. You will see ppl barely scraping by yet somehow spend hours shooting off fireworks.

        My family spent $700 this year and told me “This is the least we have ever spent on them”. It is ridiculous. I like loud explosions as much as the next guy but I do agree it’s absolutely insane. Fireworks are legitimately an addiction of the entire population.

            I know. People here spend absurd funds on fireworks and “showing up the Johnsons” in general. Living in absolute decadence.
