You will soon. Plus all kinds of other messages you are required to receive. There will be no opt out.

They sent one out a month or two ago while I was at work. Everyone got it. I got it, my manager got it, the doctors got it, the techs got it, every client in the waiting room got it. Everybody's phone starts doing that very distinctive emergency-broadcast tone (you know the one) at the same time. I almost shat myself.

So I pick up my phone and I'm thinking, "well, either nuclear war has started, or Donald Trump has gained control of the Emergency Broadcast System and is now tweeting directly to every American through it".

It was an Amber Alert for a dad-in-the-midst-of-a-custody-battle-absconds-with-daughter situation, 80 miles away.
