    Yes, but the point of the person you responded to is that work for the sake of work is also a waste.

      May as well all just suicide and mulch ourselves so we don’t do anything without purpose.

        Just to be clear, I was just saying that the point was ignored, not that I agree.

        Although your response isn’t good either, you can advocate for more efficiency so people get to do more rewarding work, such as arts and crafts. Part of these arts and crafts can also be fireworks.

        I don’t think the work that’s done to create and use fireworks is without purpose, in the end it’s a celebration and that’s purpose in and of itself.
