Fireworks are a cool spectacle, imagine never seeing a fireworks show.

Completely agree!

Also the money isnt gone, its just changed hands.

Not with this though. A portion of the money has changed hands, the portion that goes to paying workers and investors. Another portion of the money was used to extract, refine, and process something that just burned up.

It’s also important to consider opportunity cost. That money could have been spent on other things, when you spend it on something wasteful and unnecessary that means it can’t be spent on more useful or productive things.

All that being said, I still think fireworks are rad and worth it, but they are a waste.
