Boy,are you out of touch! I know of a local firefighter was
“entertaining” the wife of a highway patrolman while he, WPM, was on shift. (Talk about the death wish!)

I looked, and my phone has a "Presidential alerts" setting under Emergency Alerts. It's the only type of emergency alert that cannot be turned off.

I never noticed that before.

no doubt the left will go absolutely nuts declaring that this is the first step of President Trump’s fascist takeover of everything ...

In a real emergency it can save lives.

Dear citizens: in 12 minutes Earth will be obliterated by a giant asteroid. Have a nice day.

My phone only makes/receives calls and rings. Will someone be making a special call for us troglodytes?

Well, hell, my phone is usually off anyway.

It will be interesting to see if the alert can be triggered on “off” cellphones.

“I know of a local firefighter was
“entertaining” the wife of a highway patrolman while he, WPM, was on shift.”

Several years ago in Indiana, a County Sheriff was killed in a gun battle with the State Trooper whose wife he was “entertaining” while he worked the night shift.

Millennials do not know how to use a rotary phone, you expect the iPhag generation to understand Morse??

Though, no doubt there is a "ape" for that, or whatever it is they like to say.................
