    Fair enough, but why does every single person need their own firework? That connection is conpletely lost then

      Every single person needs the opportunity to get their own firework and contribute. We’ve never had a rule like “everyone needs their own firework”.

      Everyone needs the option. That is important. It’s not important that everyone takes it, but it’s important everyone is given the option.

      I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but whenever we do fireworks on the 4th or New Year’s, it’s with a group of a solid 15-30 people. I don’t think we’d ever set off fireworks by ourselves
