    Well the billionares suck up all the coffers of goverment and now they are coming for the cultural shake down… yet fireworks pollute I guess but relative to a aircraft carrier and taylor swift… it is just a drop in a bucket.

      I agree with the sentiment, but in the US illegal fireworks are the cause of a lot of forest fires.

      That being said, I don’t trust that this all they are doing with drone surveillance, and this seems to aim to normalize it.
