    Funny. In Germany we have been discussing banning fireworks for new years for a while now since more and more people realize the mix of alcohol and fireworks is a bad idea and traumatizing pets, war refugees and old people, killing wildlife and poisoning the air for days to come is not worth it so some people can watch something go boom.

      As a German…every year since forever, I ask myself what is so great about this boom boom. Didn’t even wanna do it as a boy. My dad wanted me to want, so HE could do boom boom.

      Now that I’m older I still don’t get it. Except now it even hurts to watch money literally explode while there are people that are hungry or have no shelter or no help at all.
