By the end of 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/supply-chain-crisis-worsens-number-of-ships-off-california-coast-hits-new-record\">hundreds of shipping vessels<\/a> carrying thousands of containers were stranded off the <a href=\"http:\/\/dailywire.com\/topic\/california\">California<\/a> 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 \u2014 a factor behind rising <a href=\"http:\/\/dailywire.com\/topic\/inflation\">inflationary<\/a> pressures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dailywire.com\/topic\/phoenix\">Phoenix<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/dailywire.com\/topic\/arizona\">Arizona<\/a>, canceled its shows altogether due to a lack of fireworks, while <a href=\"http:\/\/dailywire.com\/topic\/minneapolis\">Minneapolis<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/dailywire.com\/topic\/minnesota\">Minnesota<\/a>, nixed its celebration because there were not enough workers to secure the site from which the fireworks were supposed to launch.<\/p>\n<p>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. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/fairfax-county\">Fairfax<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/virginia\">Virginia<\/a>, is delaying its show by one day, while Fountain Hills, Arizona, will run its display on the first of the month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of these shooters, they could be doctors or dentists by day, and for two days a year they\u2019re a pyrotechnician who\u2019s shooting a firework show,\u201d National Fireworks Association President Steve Houser told The Wall Street Journal, noting that many people avoid getting their licenses because of \u201chassle\u201d involved with professional training and clearances with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/firearms-and-explosives-atf\">ATF<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Though the agency does not regulate consumer fireworks, federal law <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/explosives\/fireworks-safety-and-security#:~:text=The%20regulations%20at%2027%20CFR,ATF%20for%20the%20specific%20activity.\">requires<\/a> that any person receiving \u201cdisplay fireworks\u201d must obtain an explosives license or permit \u201cfor the specific activity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond fireworks, other economic challenges are placing a damper on celebrations. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, the average cost of a Fourth of July <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/last-year-biden-bragged-about-16-cents-in-fourth-of-july-cookout-savings-this-year-prices-rose-by-double-digits\">summer cookout<\/a> for a party of 10 is currently $69.68 \u2014 17% higher since last year. Prices for barbecue staples such as chicken breasts, pork chops, potato salad, lemonade, and hamburger buns are more elevated than last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite higher food prices, the supply chain disruptions and inflation have made farm supplies more expensive; like consumers, farmers are price-takers not price-makers,\u201d AFBF Chief Economist Roger Cryan explained. \u201cBottom line, in many cases the higher prices farmers are being paid aren\u2019t covering the increase in their farm expenses. The cost of fuel is up and fertilizer prices have tripled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year, however, President Biden\u2019s White House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-admin-brags-about-saving-americans-16-cents-on-july-4-food-our-economic-plan-is-working\">tweeted<\/a> that his administration managed to save Americans $0.16 on their Independence Day cookouts. At the time, year-over-year inflation was 5.3% and rising. As of last month, inflation was 8.6% \u2014 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/inflation-reaches-8-6-setting-new-four-decade-high\">highest level<\/a> in four decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
