Several Fourth of July fireworks displays in Los Angeles County have been canceled due to new environmental regulations aimed at reducing pollution in local waters.

Though some fireworks shows were able to comply with the new permit requirements, at least one company, Pyro Spectaculars, said that they were unsafe.

The Los Angeles Times reported:[T]he L.A. Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted a protective fireworks display permit in late May, which requires new best practices aimed at reducing plastics and other pollution that could fall into oceans or marinas from fireworks displays.

A friend told me they are trying to pass a law in California making it illegal to wear sunglasses while driving. On your 3rd offense you lose your liscense.

That is stupid. Sunglasses, and blocking glare, are a safety issue.

. But what most do not know is that since 1959, California’s Vehicle Code prohibits wearing them while driving. Specifically, if the eyewear temple thickness is Β½ an inch or thicker and blocks your side vision, it can pose safety hazard, interfering with your ability to see motorists and pedestrians adjacent to you. You can read the law here.

If they ban fireworks displays, you can still see fireworks. There will be plenty of illegal fireworks throughout the Southland tomorrow night.

That could bring nationalism, and with it... war.

So now the Left trashes fireworks. Where is the Leftist cult headed? it seems to me the end result is a mass Jim Jones suicide event.

CA DMV actually recommends wearing sunglasses: “...(glare section)...”wear polarized sunglasses”: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/california-driver-handbook/safe-driving/

It is sunglasses with super wide temples (designer/hip-hop sunglasses) that are an issue (block lateral vision):

When I lived in California, CARB was using the excuse of air pollution to cancel Labor Day barbeques in advance, claiming "spare the air" days a week in advance.

This has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with leftists using their power to stop patriotic celebrations.

All part of replacing July 4th and fireworks and airshows with Juneteenth and armed military drones flying in formation.

To go back to the topic, I was at this display in San Diego in 2012 when all the fireworks on all the barges went off in like 15 seconds. I had my camera on a tripod and was so stunned that I didn't take one picture. Everyone was pissed.
