Seems reasonable

I'm waiting for Fox News to respond with a counter offensive argument against these Democrats.

"DeMoCrAts wOnt LeT U gET ciHPPed"

Seems like something that would be good at the federal level

How many times is this going to get posted here?

This appears reasonable, and still leaves open the possibility for voluntary microchipping.

If republicans want to get themselves chipped...

Why would they need to microchip you? They can just give you a company phone.

why are the republicans down in alabama allowing this i mean for fuck sakes the crazy sob's have been afraid of getting micro-chipped by the government before it was even possible to do it.

inb4 some shithead goes "BuT tHeY cAn mAke YoU gEt a CoViD VaCcInE"

they've never been afraid. They noticed their under educated demographic was afraid when there wasn't any viability to it. Now that technology has advanced, to a certain point, and it is usable to a degree. There is money to be made, so they'll be flipping their opinions immediately

There is absolutely no justification for an employer to be allowed require specific health interventions or body modifications.

Be it Covid vaccine. Or an abortion. Or having a baby. Or a circumcision. Or a tattoo with all your health information so they can pull access it in an emergency.

If you want to have a heart attack and die, well, that is your right; as long as you’re of sound mind you can refuse to seek care. It isn’t your employer’s business.

They pay you for a job. You do the job.

They want to have a say in what you do when you’re not at work? Fine. Pay 24/7/365; if I’m always on the clock you can pay me not to have a beer as a condition of employment.

But if I punch out at 5, what I do at 5:01 isn’t any of your damned business.

I suspect it's already illegal

Can someone point out to Qanon?

One of these things involves public health and a communicable disease.

Turns out the 5G vaccine was available all along

This has to already be illegal, right? ...right?

I thought they just microchip pets?

Allowing WHAT exactly??

“Chestnut said he wasn't aware of any Alabama companies that have tried to require microchips, but he got the idea after reading about a company in Wisconsin that offered the devices for employees.”

The author got the idea off some article he “read” and said “gosh, what if they FORCED folks next?!” There’s no risk.

This. A company phone can do everything a microchip can do (2FA, tracking, etc.) and is far less invasive and dehumanizing.... And it's cheaper too.

What possible real-world use-case could there be for this? Aside from wanting to treat your employees like cattle by branding them.

[removed]

Thats so offensive, of course companies dont want to treat their employees like cattle.

The goal is actually to treat employees like caged chicken.

All 5 of them do

They have to feed cattle

There are absolutely companies using RFID chips in employees. To my knowledge it’s voluntary in the US (link to the example he read. Or “read”?) but I believe there is a European company that tried to mandate it. I’ll try to look it up.

I’m unsure why you’re doubting the risk of this? I could totally see a tech company like Tesla making this a thing.

Bodily autonomy is a basic democratic right.

I mean, I'd rather quit than tbe microchipped, so there's that.

if you think it takes actual attempts to enrage the evangelical right then sir you do not understand the evangelical right at all.

As long as there isn't a mask mandate to get chipped.

I’m just saying I would never allow an employer to chip me. I can’t imagine the population would ever reach a point where they would be ok with that.

When you start hearing Keanu Reeves in your head bitching about corporations, you know that you definitely got the wrong kind of chip.

Because they genuinely want a fascist surveillance state, and step one of their playbook is to accuse the opposition of doing whatever they are already doing or want to do.

They ran out of problems to address so they had to make up problems. No racism, low obesity rates, great healthcare, highly ranked education, etc. What a wonderful state!

Reps: "THE VACCINE IS MICROCHIPPED! THEY'LL STEAL OUR FREEDOM"
Also Reps: "Let's put microchips in the working class so we can steal their freedom!"

I mean, reading about something new and then being like "hmmm this could be misused in a way I dont think is illegal enough yet, lets get ahead of that" isn't exactly bad especially when its often complained that technology too often outpaces the legal systems ability to protect people.
