Wisconsin workers embedded with microchips

RIVER FALLS, Wis. — A local firm here made good today on its vow to embed employees with microchips.

Sporting "I Got Chipped" T-shirts, some 40 workers at Three Square Market, a firm that makes cafeteria kiosks aimed at replacing vending machines, got tiny rice-sized microchips embedded in their hands.

Company officials said it was for convenience, a way for them to bypass using company badges and corporate log-ons to computers. Now, they can just have their hands read by a reader, similar to using a smartphone to pay for goods.

The company would like to see payments go cashless, as iPhone users do with Apple Pay. Except in this case, consumers use their hand instead of a smartphone to pay.

The chip is not a tracker nor does it have GPS in it, so the boss can't track your movements, company officials say. Still, to those who worry about Big Brother having more control over our lives, Three Square Market President Patrick McMullan says you should, "take your cell phone and throw it away."

Shut up lemon.


Anyways back to the original thread.

Allowing this door entry implant is a gateway to bigger problems.
Next they add your bank account and identity information.
Only a matter of time and it will also be a cellphone too.
It's one step closer to what we don't want.

Kill the Robots!! 😠

The libs here are going to dance around that one. They know the orwellian ramifications, but to argue against the chip argues against just about everything they stand for. They want that kind of control. This is what I mean by wetting their beds. Caught up in the confusion of it all, don't you know.....


Ok first we use the Robots to get rid of the Liberals and then we kill the Robots! 😠



Or maybe bad people just cut them out...

We need to slow down with technology and use those brains to cure diseases.

Wasn't polio the last disease we cured?
That was 100 years ago!

Enough with the technology.

Robots will kill us or worse...
