A Wisconsin company is about to become the first in the U.S. to offer microchip implants to its employees.
Yes, you read that right. Microchip implants.
"It's the next thing that's inevitably going to happen, and we want to be a part of it," Three Square Market Chief Executive Officer Todd Westby said.
The company designs software for break room markets that are commonly found in office complexes.
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.
Along with purchasing market kiosk items, employees will be albe to use the chip to get into the front door and log onto their computers.
Each chip costs $300 and the company is picking up the tab. They're implanted between a person's thumb and forefinger. Westby added the data is both encrypted and secure.
"There's no GPS tracking at all," he said.
No one who works at Three Square Market is required to get the chip implant.
People sell their souls for cheap.
Mark of the beast is here, gang.
Yeah, none for me, thanks.
Resume polishing in 3....2.....
Yet.
A niche software company no one has heard of is the Beast?
Egon: We’d like to get a sample of your brain tissue.
Louis: Okay.
Volunteer, becomes, strongly recommended, becomes, advised, becomes expected, becomes MANDATED.
That’s how it starts. ;-)
I don’t even like pretzels. Now if I can get Dolly Madison Zingers out of the machine with a wave of my hand then I’m all in!
“To Serve Man...is a COOKBOOK!”
“And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.…” - Revelation 13:16,17
What could possibly go wrong? Infection, pain, scarring, neuroma, migration.
Not me. Resume buffed up and ready to go.
The truth of the matter is that this is a Nothing Sandwich. It’s no different than a security badge or a debit card or credit card. Now since it’s implanted I don’t think they should mandate it. But this is hardly a sign of THE END.
I wonder if we can order Tar and Feathers out of the Kiosik, just saying.
Yes, it is.
You can leave all those other things tucked in your desk. Unless you dig the chip out with a knife you can never ever get rid of this.
And anyone who believes that this will not be used to track you is naive.
They will be able to tell what rooms you go into, how long you stay and who is with you.
I already buy things without opening my wallet. Don’t need an implanted microchip to do that.
and when they go to another company, another chip, and another, and another...
