Trump's trade war with China could impact 4th of July fireworks in the U.S. - NBC News



Nearly all fireworks used in Fourth of July celebrations come from China, but rising tariffs under President Trump have strained the supply chain, leaving small U.S. businesses worried about higher costs and potential shortages ahead of the American holiday.

I constantly hear disgusting ads for the gargantuan fireworks warehouse just across the border from Colorado on I-25 in Wyoming. They make it sound as though they are marketing ballistic munitions and not fireworks--as they try to get the testosterone-driven teens and twenty-somethings to come spend hundreds $$$ on their crap.

NO FEMA means increasingly no insurance or none that is affordable, so people better wake up to the risks.
