Wisconsin company to implant microchips in employees

[Mom MD]

Here it is folks


Just as people are able to purchase items at the market using phones, Westby wants to do the sam thing using a microchip implanted inside a person's hand.

"We'll come up, scan the item," he explained, while showing how the process will work at an actual break room market kiosk. "We'll hit pay with a credit card, and it's asking to swipe my proximity payment now. I'll hold my hand up, just like my cell phone, and it'll pay for my product."

More than 50 Three Square Market employees are having the devices implanted starting next week. Each chip is about the size of a single grain of rice.

This year: You won't be tracked. Honest.

In five years: If you have nothing to hide...

[Mom MD]

Except I don't think it will take 5 years....

This is an April Fools story right... why would any employee volunteer for this crap?

This is Three Square Market's product and this is their employees testing it before wider distribution.

So unlike when your credit card number gets stolen, you get to have this device surgically removed and another one inserted every time it is compromised. And don't tell me its ID number can't be stolen. And if it can be reprogrammed with a new ID without being removed what is the point?

Time to stay off the porn sites. Being paying over and over per visit.

Just think of the trees that will be saved with no more paper money.

FWIW, I am very very against this.

Due to their religious and secular educations..

Can see this becoming a fad in the young but also something pushed by the AMA interests of public health..  (@Mom MD).

I can see it being pushed by a lot of secular institutions  - financial, medical, etc.   but eventually it will be latched onto by the governments to control their citizens

Hive mind mentality. They've been pushing for this for a long time. I'm tracked enough as it is.

I know one area of distribution that won't ever get chipped like a puppy.

THANKS. Yup. I read it on another site.

Sobering. We've known for 2,000 years  such was coming.

Still very sobering to see it progress to the end point before our eyes.

Time to stay off the porn sites. Being paying over and over per visit.

So that's where it's installed!  Insert tab A into slot B for purchase. 

If the reader is having trouble reading your chip, vigorously pump tab A in slot B repeatedly until sale is made.

LOL.

It won't stop until it can't be altered and can't be surgically removed... Watch and see.

Just don't sit too close or that thing will scroll up like a gas pump.

Renew.

I highly recommend the "Swipe" series of novels by Evan Angler. They tell of a future American society where everyone has to get a chip implanted at a certain age in order to get a job, purchase things, etc., and those who don't are considered lawbreakers. Very interesting books. Although geared toward a younger audience, I couldn't put them down.
