Are You Ready to Be Microchipped at Your Job?

Here we go folks. Mark August 1, 2017 on your calendar as the potential beginning of the end if you haven't already set that date long ago because according to U.S. News:

"Three Square Market (32M), a Wisconsin-based modern vending company that outfits break rooms with "micro markets," announced it is poised to offer employees voluntary implants, which can be used for vending in the break room, to open doors, log in to computers and operate the copy machine, among other conveniences. The company is slated to offer the microchips to its employees beginning Aug. 1.


The company expects to chip more than 50 employees by injecting rice-sized sensors underneath their skin in the space between the thumb and forefinger. Each injection takes a matter of seconds.
The tiny sensors feature RFID technology, or Radio-Frequency Identification, which uses electromagnetic fields to identify electronically stored information. The embedded chips allow employees to access technology with just a wave of a hand."

I'm going to put this on record, as me being totally against this idea. I don't even like using my Kroger card (grocery shopping card), because I know the company uses it to track all my purchases, and I'm still a print out my travel tickets on my computer sort of person even though that is becoming more and more impossible these days. I am very weary of this, and I think a lot of people should be. Sure tech heads will love this...ha ha, look, now I'm a robot...but allowing a company...you work for...to chip you, seems nefarious in nature. How do you know that chip has and does only what they say it will. I'm sure the contract you sign will have a few GIANT loop holes in it, that allow them to make changes remotely "if necessary," and you probably wouldn't even know.

What happens when you leave that company? The chip has to come out of you I'm assuming because it supposedly allows you access only within that company, so that's a pretty intense debriefing don't you think? And you may laugh, but every tech based Sy Fy movie I've ever seen points out something that you may think may never happen, but I'm sure is only a matter of time. Let's say you're high ranking in that office, and your chip opens specific doors that no one else has access to because of classified company info, someone only has to dig that chip out of you, and boom, they can break into your company, no locks or doors in their way.

All you people out there talking on and on about too much government involvement, better not be the first ones being chipped, because to me that says, you want someone watching your every move and knowing exactly where you are and what you're doing at all hours of the day and controlling your life. Sure they claim it only works in the building, but again, how would you know that? Next thing we know, companies will want to chip employees to keep track of their outside of work activities and where they go and whom they hang out with, or as many have suggested, be chipped for medical reasons. They just upload your entire medical history like chips they put in dogs, and then the discrimination can start, or rather, intensify, if an employer feels you'd be an insurance risk or you have something like HIV. The list goes on.

Also I might add, this "optional" status, I don't see lasting too long at a company who is driven by technology. New applications are probably already being printed out that ask if you would be willing to be chipped to work there, and again, another form of discrimination for those that say no, they may not be hired, especially if a lot of people at that company opt-in. You can literally see the divisions building further and further between people, like the chipped and the unchipped. Those who are willing to take the risk and be chipped may have more value to that company, than those that value their privacy and do not want a foreign substance in their body which they cannot control.

This is just setting us up to be controlled, for discrimination, for abuse, for a whole host of other things that rob us of our privacy and individual freedoms. It's one company now, but the world is watching and waiting and wanting to start this so the next tech revolution can begin, accept this one has so many negative connotations, that I plan to resist as long as I can, you know before I can't eat, access my own money, see a doctor, go where I want, open doors, etc. all unless chipped.
