Fireworks dealers across the border from Illinois say business is not booming.

"The guys call us and say they’re not able to purchase this year because of economic reasons, gas being too high. I have seen a lot of people doing carpooling now because gas has gone up," Mota said.

Greg "Krazy" Kaplan says they’re also being squeezed by the skyrocketing cost of shipping fireworks. It used to cost Kaplan $10,000 to ship a container of fireworks from China.

It is 'transitory' and will pick up when Trump wins the presidency in November 2024.

Duh 🙄

No way a container costs 42k to ship, you can get spot quotes from China from 8-9k to Chicago and even less to Long Beach
