A word to the wise: drone shows are painfully boring and you should avoid them like the plague this Independence Day.

From CNN, "Some US cities are replacing 4th of July fireworks with environmentally friendly drones":

Fire threats and environmental concerns have prompted some US cities to forego traditional Fourth of July fireworks in favor of spectacular drone light shows this year.

Salt Lake City, Utah, tried out the alternative way of celebrating Independence Day on Saturday with its first-ever drone show.

The city's mayor, Erin Mendenhall, said in a news release the new format marked an effort to minimize the area's "high fire danger" and to lessen air quality problems caused by pyrotechnics.

"As temperatures rise and fire danger increases, we must be conscientious of both our air quality and the potential for wildfires," Mendenhall said in the release.

If you like many other folks have been wowed by drone shows in China and elsewhere in short highlight clips from social media, check out this footage of Salt Lake's drone show as referenced above:

Drones take forever to set up and get in formation and even when they're in formation they just shift around a bit. It's an absolute snoozefest.

In neighboring Colorado, also in its wildfire season, the City of Boulder made a similar decision this year with its first-ever nighttime drone show next week.

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the city had previously celebrated its Ralphie's Independence Day Blast since 1941, according to a social media post.

"The shift from traditional fireworks to drones was not an easy decision and based on a number of factors, including increased fire danger fueled by climate change," the city's government stated via Facebook.

All our traditions must be taken away to punish us for our climate and social justice sins.

Farther west in California, other communities like Lake Tahoe, La Jolla and Ocean Beach also opted to host the more environmentally friendly synchronized drone events for their celebrations.

The fact CNN is shilling these drone shows should be all you need to know to be certain they're absolute garbage. They're only shilling them because they enjoy making us suffer.

Fortunately, fireworks sales are booming this year with prices falling due to supply chain issues finally being resolved. Private citizens are going to be firing them off all over the country -- including in all the cities mentioned above -- and some cities are planning bigger fireworks shows than ever!

Happy Independence Day!
