    My twitter feed is dominated by elderly anti-fireworks cranks. It’s like sitting in a McDonald’s before 9 am and listening to the old people sipping decaf

        Also, at least most of y’all are at least at the “is that a gun or a firework” stage and not “oh shit was that people shooting each other in my backyard or in my neighbor’s backyard” stage.

        If you think Twitter is rough on fireworks, stay away from Nextdoor app.

        @QsfortheDonald I think I’m onto something with my Walmart seasonal fireworks display at the front of the store for 4th of July + that stimulus money burning a hole in people’s pockets theory.
