Makes sense. if you can't pay for your firefighters and policemen...then you don't need to be spending money on a huge party.

will never happen. it's part of their culture. even if the government doesn't sponsor it, the people will have their parades, dress up, etc.

think of it like a longer version of mardi gras. it would be hard to stop that if all the regular citizens wanted to drink and have parties. and carnaval is in every city (though more famous in certain (usually larger) ones)

They may not be able to stop the party, like you say. But good luck and Godspeed to those that are there.
