Amazon has announced that Amazon One — the e-commerce giant’s palm-reading payment technology — will be deployed at Panera Bread locations around the US. The restaurant chain will be the first to leverage Amazon One’s new loyalty card linking capabilities, allowing customers to connect a MyPanera loyalty membership to their Amazon One account and collect rewards when paying for purchases with their palm.

(controlling where, when, how far and most importantly IF you can go anywhere.)

Nations will need Digital Currency to control people.

I say a World Digital Currency is coming.

Revelation 13:16-18
King James Version

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

“At first it’s an option.
Then it’s “highly suggested”.
Then it’s “recommended”.
Then it’s “mandatory “.
Then it’s “law”.”

And they would just love to apply that to covid shots as well.

I think I remember hearing about it losing business in 2016 at the height of the keto craze because it never served salads back then.

And then there was this:

On April 2, 2018, Brian Krebs reported that the Panera Bread website had leaked between 7 million and 37 million customer records — including names, email and physical addresses, customer loyalty account numbers, birthdays, and the last four digits of the customers’ credit card numbers — for at least eight months before the site was taken offline. Panera was notified privately about the vulnerability in August 2017 but failed to fix it until after it was disclosed publicly eight months later.[46][47][48] Panera said the leak affected fewer than 10,000 customers and had been fixed.[49]

It is optional today. But will something like this always be optional? That is what people are concerned about.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the boiling frog apologue right?

Yes. But I don't think that's applicable here.

A question. Are you aware of any grocery store chain that refuses to take cash? Not taking $100 bills does not count, as some businesses just will not accept.

It seems to me that grocery stores are providing -more- ways to pay, not less.

Well, another stupid stunt by the same stupid company.

OK, here is the challenge. Get someone who makes really good plastic masks — like monster masks for movies. Make a hand glove with your own print. Put it on a manikin’s hand. Paint the wrist with red paint.

Go in and buy something.

If you'd like to be tracked like an animal by technorat Bezos give him your biometrics and wait for what comes next. Here's examples of his creepy stalking of his own company's employees.

2019

“How Amazon automatically tracks and fires warehouse workers for ‘productivity’”

“...The documents also show a deeply automated tracking and termination process. “Amazon's system tracks the rates of each individual associate's productivity,” according to the letter, “and automatically generates any warnings or terminations regarding quality or productivity without input from supervisors.” (Amazon says supervisors are able to override the process.)

“They're monitored and supervised by robots.”

Critics see the system as a machine that only sees numbers, not people. “One of the things that we hear consistently from workers is that they are treated like robots in effect because they're monitored and supervised by these automated systems,” Mitchell says. “They're monitored and supervised by robots.”...

No man can Buy or Sell without the Mark of the anti-Christ Beast

The world 🌎🌍 is not there yet. But it is heading there; rapidly.

Please post the image from my FR homepage - I’m on a cellphone 📱 and can’t do it right now. Thanks and God bless.
