Here's your micro-chip.

1984 was a long time ago, so peeps have probably forgotten about stuff like this, but I have no doubt that certain companies, maybe even the military, may have to get chipped soon. Can you imagine it, uhhh, you need to get chipped or lose your job. I dont know of many peeps that can afford to walk away from their work.

Oh the irony...

Yeah. Requiring it could be problematic for some. On the other hand it seems there are a lot who like the idea.

Your source:

Österlund said big companies, with 200,000 employees, could offer this as an opt-in. “If you have a 15% uptake that is still a huge number of people that won’t require a physical ID pass.”

How much do you know about RFID?

Haven't been to Yahoo for awhile, I guess.

Or is it just the UK version? Got this popup....

So No thanks going there...

Want a universal basic income? Just let us install this chip so you always have access to your benefits..

Probably crazy conspiracy talk, but you never know.

I think any site in the EU is required to post that notice.

Would you feel better if they didn't?

We use these "Chips" at the mine.
RFID trackers that are in every employees hard hat and belt lamp.
You are watched by someone in the control room 24 hours a day.
They monitor peoples down times, waiting to be loaded, how long it takes them to get from A to B...
When it was first implemented last year it was designated as a safety feature.
You need your hard hat and lamp underground, so they chip those to "ensure employee safety"

It was mentioned to us at a death inquest that something like this could help prevent fatalities, if someone is working alone, without a radio for some reason.
They can be tracked and discovered by the underground shifter's Ipad.

At first it sounded like a great idea. An extra level of safety.
Until dudes started getting radio calls when they where in the bathroom or refuge station on lunch,
asking whats the hold up.

Enough to know I dont want one in my hand....or anywhere else.

a reply to: lakenheath24

Meh.

My dog has one. That doesn't mean I can track him but it does mean that if the dog catcher gets him I'll get a phone call.

Time is money.
On the job, your time belongs to the company.

a reply to: Macenroe82

Exactly, why not tether them to the wall!

This is a bit older, apparently this has been going on for awhile.

Time....sure.....body no. Think about it, you clock out but they still keep tabs on you 24/7. No thank you.

a reply to: lakenheath24

So, you don't know much about RFID.

a reply to: Phage

It can only reach out 40 feet or so....allegedly. You wanna stick one in your cranium, go for it. Not I. And certainly not in a its your job or else scenario.

Depends upon the type.

You wanna stick one in your cranium, go for it

They are not placed in the head.

And certainly not in a its your job or else scenario.

I can see it being required for some employment. High security type stuff. But the article you linked makes it quite clear that it's voluntary.

Not much about rfid...but ya know what the Bible says about....rfid

It's againn itt !!

a reply to: Phage

That is why I used the words "may" and "soon".

It would have to be on the forehead if the Biblical prophesy were true. Not everyone has both hands. But they did get tattoos in biblical times to show that they belonged to a particular walled city state. They those with approved tattoos could trade with other city states.

a reply to: lakenheath24

there will be a few people willing to participate in this but eventually there will be more and more and te then the government will make it mandatory!

This is going to turn ugly.
