Fireworks make me angry

We live in a country that is constantly on fire, in a state where the catchphrase is ‘but it’s a dry heat’. Just last week I had to travel several hundred extra km when visiting family to avoid bushfires. There is currently a fire less than 100km from The city. There was a post earlier from someone whose family farm burned down.

At what point do fireworks feel like they are in bad taste? And more importantly, why the fuck are some people still keen on fireworks at all? They are expensive, cause fires, and disturb wildlife. I don’t get it.
