They should have had NOAA weather radios at least.

NOAA weather radios. They receive pretty much everywhere people inhabit in the CONUS. go off like alarm clocks when the NWS issues watches / warnings / advisories.
Don't rely on one layer of notification. That layer will fail in an emergency. Have a backup plan to the backup plan. Hell, even a selected broadcast media in every market is required to rebroadcast NOAA alerts. Turn on the TV or fm radio for background noise when the weather is squiffy. The alert tone will get your attention.
His wife didn't 'make him' do anything. He's a grown-ass man.
The staff (or at least the staff leadership) should / could have had cell phones. Whether there was cell coverage is another story.
I'm the emergency manager at my employer, who operates a summer camp (not in Texas, thank fuck). We don't want our clients bringing devices because of the distraction from programming and potential for Bad Things(tm) to happen. We don't want our direct care staff carrying their phones because we want their focus and attention on the clients. We also have a well-developed communications, hazard notification, and emergency plan, however.
Honestly, I read it like OP wanted pity points.
I'm typing this as my 15 month old is falling asleep in my arms for the 'night' (she'll wake up in 3 hours for the midnight snack).
OP, get yourself some counseling. If you didn't feel like you wanted kids, you should have been up front with your wife. That child is now brought into the world and you need to nut up and put your wants and desires on the back burner.
Like others have said better than me, get your village helping you. The first several months are rough, and your wife and child need support, and so do you. Then, when things ease (and they will), maybe you can get out for an afternoon. But don't whine about how your wife isn't doing anything.
Yeah, it was the most colorful, definitely my favorite.
Yep, and the "block everything" McConnell senate of Obama's terms would have allowed that reform too. You could conceivably make that argument about Biden for 2 fucking years if not for Sinnema(sp?) and that chucklefuck from WV.
The Dems are feckless but the president can't just decree shit. (well, unless you're trump I guess)
A state governor just authorized vehicle ramming attacks against probably his own citizens. Disgusting and disgraceful.
Man, that's gotta be hell on any wildlife left living in the areas in which it's used. (I mean, I get the necessity, but dang)
Tillers too when this war ends (with Russia's defeat) and it's time to plant crops.
Late to the party but Verkada. Block their domain at the front door and don't look back. The highest pressure sales tactics, cold calling everybody in the company they can find on LinkedIn / website / data broker lists. Started calling our board of directors at home and their day jobs asking why we weren't returning messages. Verkada can burn in hell.
