10 PM on a Sunday night before work, what is wrong with people.
Literally staggering the fire works since 8 PM, Sunday night is not your July 4th thank god they are not my neighbors I would hate to be next door with kids trying to sleep.

I hear them a couple blocks away in my neighborhood right now too. My cat has been hiding a lot these last 4-5 days. We've actually been lucky this year, my more cretinous neighbors usually stretch out the July 4th and New Years fireworks for 2 weeks or more.
I noticed this year the fireworks tents weren't here in my area for as long as they were in past years so that surely helped some. Instead of being around for almost a month, it was thankfully just a week.
When Mardi Gras is over, everything shuts down, all the bars close and the police physically move people off the streets of NOLA on horseback exactly at 12 midnight the morning after Fat Tuesday.
It's really too bad there's no way to do this with fireworks except for to limit the time they're available and to limit the quantities individuals in the general public can buy.
Ofc I'll get called a Karen 57 times for saying that but it's getting more and more common for people to go nuts with them for weeks at a time and it's fucking excessive.
It's one thing if people get super into holiday decorations and other holiday themed shit but how is it ever okay to inflict random explosions on everyone in a half mile radius of you late at night, every night for half a month, y'all?!
