I hear fireworks more at Christmas and New years than I do fourth of July here in I Imperial Valley. Maybe in 3 years 2026 we'll have a HUGE freedom fest being America's 250th birthday

Jeanette Johnson

it's illegal where I live AND to be truthful too dangerous not willing to take the chances I'd rather go where the fire department is in charge AND experience with fireworks 🎆🎇

Doug

I don't like fireworks to be honest

Stickz Record Label

Too dry to shoot

Tina Scott

It's literally like taking paper money and catching fire to it! Then hope it's not a dud. I live a mile and a half from where "Fire in the Sky" is being held so I can just step out and watch them.

Jeanette Johnson

Exactly!! Very expensive, my brother went to buy sparklers for his granddaughters and for 5 boxes of sparkers they wanted $50. No thanks AND they were very rude. gonna let your granddaughters down Didn't like being told back they'll live. Must have been rude to everyone ZERO sales unbelievable

Vernon Taylor

I enjoy just hearing the month long war zone inflicted on us by those who do.

Serlop

No, but sadly, my neighbors will.

Max DeYoung

No I won't, but my neighbor, and his family always invite me to their 4th of July party, and it has awesome food, people, and fireworks. And it's next door, so I don't have to drive or park. Just 300 feet away.

All the fun has gone out of it!

The sheep shouldn't be alarmed, because Trump said he would do this during his campaign. He comes from the business world, not politics. We actually have a president keeping the promises he made to those who elected him, a trait that is not common with career politicians.

Other countries have placed tariffs on our goods, far more so than we have ever done. I used to sell overseas,many customers of mine had to pay 25-30% in tariffs when the goods arrived. No, I am not worried. Excited is a better term. Fair and equal, globally.

Max DeYoung

I would be worried about the economic pain, if we did not reciprocate.
