Things will go especially bad when most of the cabinet assembled are either ideologues or people whose main accomplishment is being able to check some kind of box (or multiple boxes) - but yeah big-brother Federal government has become way too big a beast and many of these federal agencies have become little totalitarians

Several cities across the United States are delaying or canceling Fourth of July fireworks shows due to widespread supply chain issues, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
The city of Ottawa, Kansas, is rescheduling its show for the day before Labor Day because the fireworks ordered in February are stranded in a ship bound from China. “We hate to break tradition,” Tiffany Evans, who co-chairs the city’s festival, told the outlet. “Even though it’s out of our control, it feels like we’re letting the community down.”
COVID lockdowns closed manufacturing facilities and logistics hubs across the world as the virus began to spread. By the end of 2021, hundreds of shipping vessels carrying thousands of containers were stranded off the California coast as the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach struggled to keep up with demand. Persistent lockdowns in China and other Asian economies continue to limit the availability of consumer goods in the United States — a factor behind rising inflationary pressures.
Phoenix, Arizona, canceled its shows altogether due to a lack of fireworks, while Minneapolis, Minnesota, nixed its celebration because there were not enough workers to secure the site from which the fireworks were supposed to launch.
Some cities are keeping their shows during the holiday weekend, yet rescheduling from the Fourth of July because of a deficit of people available to run the pyrotechnics. Fairfax, Virginia, is delaying its show by one day, while Fountain Hills, Arizona, will run its display on the first of the month.
“A lot of these shooters, they could be doctors or dentists by day, and for two days a year they’re a pyrotechnician who’s shooting a firework show,” National Fireworks Association President Steve Houser told The Wall Street Journal, noting that many people avoid getting their licenses because of “hassle” involved with professional training and clearances with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
Though the agency does not regulate consumer fireworks, federal law requires that any person receiving “display fireworks” must obtain an explosives license or permit “for the specific activity.”

Burgers and dogs for a July 4th cookout? Maybe when you're all grown up you'll learn to cook and eat like a grown man.
Around here we make those mostly for the kids. This Gen Xer's grill is gonna' have bone-in ribeye steaks rubbed with my favorite course seasoning, sweet and hot Italian sausages with peppers and onions and marinated chicken.
One of those extremely rare cases where I agree with Icee. I did spend over $50 the other day, and it was a single bag of stuff. Don't remember exactly what I bought but it was nothing fancy. A couple cleaning products, maybe 1-1/2 lbs of cold cuts, a loaf of bread, a bag of salad - shit like that.
I've never paid much attention to individual prices at the grocery store, but when they ring up the total it seems like double what it used to be.
