I’ve thought this since the biometric ID scanners first came out years ago.
That it will be tied to ‘us’ universally (everything about it) in order to prevent terrorism and ‘fraud’ is a fait accompli at this point. It’s just a matter of implementation. No more credit cards to get lost or stolen, no more medicaid/medicare fraud, no more identity theft. That’s how we will be ‘forced’ to accept it. Those who do not will have to live in the stone age at a subsistence level growing and producing everything they need themselves. No medical care w/o it either.
I returned to the country nearly 14 years ago, and now I’m working on going galt-growing, making, bartering as much stuff as I can-it is much nicer than being a scanned worker bee in a hivelike city. It is not for everyone, but it works for most of us here...
