Has China ceased fireworks shipments to the U.S.? Tampa Fl fireworks tents remain empty heading into July 4.

This was an article published last year around this time, claiming U.S. port back-ups and the Ukraine war as causes for slow to no shipments. The war because apparently potassium perchlorate a necessary ingredient has skyrocketed in price due to the conflict. Looks like the same but worse this year. Thought I'd get some ash cans and cherry bombs as I have varmints who invade my property, but every tent I've visited so far has been shut down with no stock showing anywhere.

The usual two fireworks tents here went up in the past week. I doubt they would put them up if they don’t already have product. I’m sure the prices will be double the pre-COVID prices though, like many things.

I am shocked every time I see the new Verizon commercial — a white blonde girl. It’s great!

China has cancelled the 4th of July since it doesn’t mean much to so many Americans.

OH GAWD!

First bang and they run for cover. My last one would quiver when they set them off miles away.

Maybe it’ll be quieter her this 4th. I hope so. I actually don’t mind on the fourth. But these jerks around here start in May and go through the fall. Dogs are not happy. One day a year I can put up with.

I live in northwest Indiana, Fourth of July armory to the Chicago area, and the permanent fireworks stores have been open since May. I haven’t been to one, but I assume they have stock. I heard there was a shortage of fireworks the past couple of years, but we seemed to have the usual rockets’ red glare and bombs bursting in air.

I'm in SW Florida. There is so much lightning here that my pets don't even notice fireworks.

Yeah they decided it was much more profitable to ship us Fentanyl instead.

Not so far. Maybe the next one we’ll be introduced to Mr. Right.
