The Florida government decided to do a test of the emergency broadcast system at 4:45 AM sending alerts to everyone’s phones. They said it was meant to only hit TVs.
We know a 4:45 AM wake up call isn't ideal 😅@FLSERT wants to apologize for the early morning text. Each month, we test #emergencyalerts on a variety of platforms. This alert was supposed to be on TV, and not disturb anyone already sleeping.

Worst of all, it interrupted the Jew Laura Loomer’s beauty sleep!
Not to complain. But I am
So tired today. After getting back home from the airport at 12:30 am, I didn’t get to bed till 2:30 am. The last thing I needed was some moron in Florida to wake me up at 4:45 am with an “emergency alert” blaring in my eardrum.I’m convinced I’m never…

The bitch is ugly enough with her beauty sleep so just imagine how ugly she is without it.
Seriously though, what the hell is with this? Why test the system at 4:45 AM?
I’ve never seen this system used for anything substantive. It’s basically devolved into a tool for government people to annoy and troll people with bullshit. A case could be made to eliminate the system entirely.
What is the point of having an emergency broadcast system? To my knowledge it has never been used once in my lifetime. And since any "emergency" that America faces is likely to be committed by govmedia, they'd just use the system to lie about it anyway.

If the system stays in place I am officially demanding that it play the song “Test” by Prong at the start of every emergency broadcast.
