If course I quickly acknowledged it, so my phone would stop wailing, so missed the details.

1,000 alarms per day?

How many amber alerts have you seen since the system launched?

10?

15?

How many of those came when you were sleeping?

For missing children.

Give me a break. The people who are pissing and moaning are sanctimonious navel-gazing assholes.

In the last year here where I am in Ontario we have recieved 7 amber alerts. 4 of them came during the night.

Since the system has launched here in Ontario we've had about a dozen middle of the night amber alerts.

It's enough that I've muted the emergency alerts on my phone and 😞
