    Government issued alerts are something I went out of my way to remove. I’ll happily live precariously like humans managed to do for the entire rest of our history before cell phones.

      I ain’t a fan of the corporate tracking device but how people acted before a technology existed says little to how best to act now. Even if it did the past is littered with the corpses of those unaware of incoming danger from natural disasters.

        It’s not a big enough difference maker for most of us to ever truly need it. An amber alert for a kid thousands of miles away? No thanks, because that is what I got the vast majority of the time.

        Life is too short for such invasive stress.
