Wisconsin Company To Implant Microchips In Employees

jamesrage said:
I am sure they tried that with drug tests. They claimed that most people are responsible adults who don't do recreational drugs(including alcohol) or that if they do don't do recreational drugs before and during work.And now because of those who rather have a job than stand by principals almost every employer either drugs tests their employees before employment or that the employees may be subjected to drug tests. It will be that way with the chip is laws are not implemented to prevent this from spreading to every employer. You may think good luck finding someone else to that job, I'm not being implanted with a chip. But like I said in a earlier post your options with either be let yourself be injected with a chip by your employer because you like financial security and have people to support or become a mooch off the state.And by then it will be too late to change the laws.

I'm not aware of any law at this point, but I have no doubt that any available data will sooner or later be made available to the government and to other companies for a fee. That already happens.

Being paranoid doesn't necessarily mean someone isn't out to get you.

No to being microchipped. We do it for our animals to locate or identify them if they are lost or found dead.
What would we be opening ourselves to if we agreed to be microchipped by an employer??
As it is, I think we're losing any bargaining an employee has.

That's ridiculous. No company is going to offer you a promotion in exchange for getting a microchip. It will totally freak out the employee and they will lose a good worker. Companies realize that there is a paranoia surrounding microchips. That's why they are an offer and likely always will be. These microchip stories have been circulating for a good 20-30 years and nothing has ever come of them. Everyone's fears on this thread are totally unwarranted.

LOL OK - you can do it first and tell us how it's working.

The chip is meant as a convenience, to pay and get access. Lets face it, we live in an every changing society. We use credit cards that can be used to track our habits, we use cellphone bank and pay apps. Cars are smarter then some people now. I can google an address and look at the neighborhood at my convenience. This is the next step.

I dont think its meant as convience at all. Its meant as a way to track peoples spending.

if you can't be honest there is no reason to continue discussing this with you.
the fact is that drug abuse has huge impacts on the safety and performance of a companies workers.

a microchip does not. they are completely separate things and the fact you still don't understand this prove you either don't want to
or are just being obtuse.

your the one being dishonest in an attempt to rationalize justification for your personal dislike of drug use.

Yep they will probably not care if you can show that you have a prescription from a doctor.
Or they won't care at all.

They look for illegal narotics. Meth, heroin, coke, crack, etc ...
The will look for opioids as well as those are chronicle abused.

You will probably have to show a prescription.

The difference between a drug test and a microchip being implanted.

When did peoples emploers become a branch of law enforcement for people during off hours? You argued its a safety issue but its really not if your not high at work. Its really none of their business what a person does when they are not on the clock.

I made the argument that they shared some similiarities not that they are different. They do have obvious differences but the similarities are the problem from my perspective

Is it not ironic how a "free" society is leading the totalitarian world in technology for monitoring its citizens?
 
Years ago, a branch of the company I worked for made these for cattle and were working on a rice grain sized chip that could be used in humans. Yes, the chip is not active until activated by a scanner, then it gives up the information it holds. The amount of data can be quite large and the same scanners that read it can upload to it. You may think you were just being scanned but you would never know being uploaded on a chip you had or when it was put there. I have every bit of faith in man in that if he can abuse it, he will.'

They were concerned about this ages ago,

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

Some may see that as a stretch but, knowing what can be the outcome of chipping people, I personally believe anyone who willingly accepts one is out of their mind.

Stop living in the cutesy fantasy world you've constructed for yourself. Your government has amply proven that they are the paranoid lunatics, spending billions of dollars of the people's money to finance their obsession with knowing everything about everyone. They go to great lengths to manipulate technology for their spy machine, brokering deals with Google, Microsoft, Facebook and other corporate giants that turn over mounds of data on average Americans to intelligence agencies.
