I concur, this would be good for developing cheap drone warfare capabilities. I mean, I love loud explosions and the sound of freedom because I'm not a wuss, but we need to get our drone game on China's level.

Get the drone show up and open it up to amateurs trying to shoot down the drone show for maximum adversarial drone warfare preparedness!

		That would unironically be an amazing festival activity. A drone lightshow open to public participation where the different colors are tied to swarms engaged in a battle royale. I also can't wait for the return of traditional blood sport events with bipedal robots as the contenders (but I digress).

Pollution too.

Microbits of plastic, atmospheric smoke, splintered pieces of wood, wildfires.

freedom loving Democratic socialist here, this stance is very St Thomas Aquinas of you. let people continue to do the things you did without pulling up the ladder behind you. it's just for a night or two, the animals will live.

Ban keeping animals and replace them with robots or animal films.

Barking dogs cause far more irritation than the nightly fireworks in June and July.

Plus, the animals would not have to suffer.

This is almost certain to backfire. Better: make drone shows more available, and maybe subsidise them with a tax on fireworks.
