    Most places will have loud thunderstorms at least a few times a year. They scare pets, trigger PTSD, and can cause a hell of a lot more damage than fireworks. We also only know about them a few days in advance, and have to deal with additional problems like rain and high winds. But we don’t get mad at the thunderstorms, and most of us aren’t filled with hatred and dread while we wait them out, they are just something that happens.

    So considering mother nature will out-do fireworks multiple times a year without any sort of schedule, I really don’t see the issue with people using fireworks to celebrate two times a year on dates and times that everyone should know well in advance.

    Do they have to happen? No, but enough people want them to happen that you should maybe just learn to put up with it. That’s part of living in a society.
