People just suck.

The Netherlands has made fireworks illegal this NYE. Because the hospitals don't need extra pressure from firework injuries when they're already overwhelmed. (Honestly I wish they'd done this years ago, and in Germany as well. It's ridiculous, the amount of noise and destruction in the days leading up to NYE. On the 31st it sounds like a bloody war zone from early morning on until 3 or 4 AM Jan 1st. Poor pets and kids and elderly and sensitive people )

So what do people do? They go over to Belgium to get their fireworks people are so incredibly stubborn!! It's always been a problem, people buying illegal fireworks in Belgium, but now ALL fireworks are forbidden BECAUSE WE ARE IN A PANDEMIC AND HOSPITALS ARE ALREADY FULL and they're still doing it. I can't wrap my head around in. So selfish.
