Why not one more, lol?Last time I (and my neighbors) had something to celebrate aka setting off fireworks was when RBG took a dirt nap. Not so much today with the illegitimate occupation in the white house. And yeah I live in a very blue state but have purchased my fireworks from PA.
Why not one more, lol?They have hidden motives in posting that article. The motive is “USA bad, no birthday party for you!” They disguise their intentions, hoping we won’t notice.
Can’t fool me!
Life is short.
In our founding document we are SUPPOSED to pursue happiness!
But if there was a fireworks spectacular for Juneteenth, I’m sure NatGeo would be silent on the issue. Only things which make the general public happy about themselves are to be regulated, something celebrating collective guilt or fringe groups are always welcome.

Wait till she sees what the Chinese/Russian/Iranian/Korean nuclear attack on the United States does.
I could see it coming a mile away. OMG, will they please stfu?
One of my favorite summer events is a local steam tractor show. The air positively wreaks of incomplete coal combustion. Add to that the ubiquitous horse manure, and you have a pretty close facsimile to city life 150 years ago. The only things missing are animal carcasses, and open sewers and outhouses.
I find the show almost as refreshing as getting back to the clean air of 2021.
Stop griping people. We have it good.
Using crowdsourced data from home air quality monitors, scientists found that vulnerable people and communities of color are disproportionately exposed to air pollution from firework celebrations.
Right away these small of bias, for what type of persons are most likely to have home air quality monitors bu wealthy liberals? Now I do not like the noise of the neighborhood fireworks which goes on for many nights, but opposed to
More:
Vulnerable populations appear to be more exposed to this pollution: On average, the authors found that PM2.5 spikes around the Fourth of July were higher in urban census tracts in Southern California, areas that tend to have higher asthma rates, more older individuals and small children, and more Black and Hispanic residents, compared with rural census tracts and those further north. Southern California metropolitan areas also tend to have fewer restrictions on municipal fireworks shows and looser oversight of at-home fireworks use compared with their counterparts in Northern California.
Of course more densely populated areas are more likely to have fireworks than rural areas, and thus more older individuals and small children, and more Black and Hispanic residents - and more "home shows" but that is one of the prices you pay for more jobs, stores and community.
The Babylon Bee should run a story where BIPOC are disproportionately affected by pollution from arson / riots.
How much pollution from all those battery fires? They happen year-round.
I love the smell of exploded fireworks!
You don’t live where the neighbors shoot off professional sized fireworks 24/7/365. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! in the middle of the day is not fireworks, it’s just whole house rattle BOOM!
I shout loud, non obscene, generalized insults at such virtuous signaling sphincters.
some people are just nuts ....

I bet the lady’s relatives wish she would change her name to Madeleine Anonymous.
Oh Dear Lord.
Of course some nitpicking busybody has to chime in on one of the happiest days of the year!
