Virtually everything that you do online and offline is being monitored, tracked or recorded by someone. Could you imagine what life would be like if the government compiled all of that information into a giant database and used it to punish those that had engaged in politically-incorrect behavior? Here in the United States, Internet censorship has escalated dramatically, but over in China the government is cracking down on a much wider array of online and offline activities. If you fail to make a credit card payment, get into an argument in public or say the wrong thing on social media, you could suddenly find yourself restricted from conducting a whole host of normal economic activities. The primary marketing slogan for this social credit system is “once discredited, everywhere restricted”…
China’s social credit system rates citizens based on their daily behaviour, and this could range from their bank credit to their social media activities.
With a tagline of ‘once discredited, everywhere restricted’, it vows to punish ‘untrustworthy’ citizens in as many ways as possible.
This system sounds like something right out of a George Orwell novel, and even entire businesses can be penalized. In fact, it is being reported that 3.59 million Chinese businesses were added to “the official creditworthiness blacklist” last year.

Don’t we have Generation “Z” now. Hmmmm. http://www.patburt.com/ (a true story)
My beautician just this morning told me they are chipping Alzheimer’s patients in the area. Evidently they have had several that wandered from the facility. Sounds like poor supervision to me.
Interesting note. Hadn’t really thought about that.
Well, Brad Pitt was in World War Z - I’ve only seen about 5 minutes of it though. Not sure if it’s still on the DVR (didn’t know it was about zombies until I saw that 5 minutes).
I’ve mostly been ignoring Hollywood movies for about 11 years or more.
Other than:
Jack Reacher
Star Trek (with Khan)
Red
Red 2 (saw both on cable)
And a couple of other bad films which I knew would be bad (had a free ticket for one)
While Red was pretty good, I really enjoyed Red 2.
Yeah, that might seem like it would work.
Then, someday, it will become mandatory, I believe.
The poor people have no say to what is being done to them. I have a friend that has a dear friend in a care facility. She heard them talking about how they weren’t having to change her adult diaper because they were withholding liquids. There are worse stories than that for those who have no family advocate present on a regular basis and during different shifts.
Oh I’m sure that’s true. Very sad.
“Coincidence” is God’s middle name! ;o)
Asian leaders are very deceptive in how they use vocabulary....I read an article today where the used this phrase.....”the multilateral, rules-based global order.”.....of course they leave off THEIR hope they will be the ones to establish this.
Just as listening to the weather now you’ll hear the term “extreme weather” rather than Climate Change or global warming.
Which shows his sense of humor...

Yeah. They are having a party now, but we have both read the end of the book.
Voluntary for now. It’ll be ugly when it’s not.
That is very telling actually. Thanks for sharing!
Oooh, thanks for that!
This is so important I must ping the ping list - great find - We’ve always known that it’s coming, somehow
I never thought I’d live to see all that’s happening. Maranatha!
Big WOW! no?
I’m listening to this right this moment

Yes, after 6 minutes it really gets rolling - just let it roll - You can skip 6 minutes but it’s all good!
AND if you can handle 16+ minutes - crank up those speakers :)
