I see a lot of benefits to this program with zero downside. When can we start?
sorry your spouse cheated on you. I cant imagine why

Why would the government do that? We have cell phones for that. So its basically a nonsensical what if.

What if Tump declared he won the election despite losing? At least that is reality based.

Government tells you this is in the country's best interest and needs everyone to do it. The chip is not harmful to anyone. Would you be willing to give up your freedom and do as the government demands?
They don't need to do that. Your phone already serves that purpose. Add to that license plate readers that are all over. And also add the Insurance company trackers that many people install to save a few bucks on their car insurance. If the government wants to know where you are or where you have been very easy for them.

Who needs a chip when many put their whole life on social media, which I find bizarre.

I already leave my phone at home half the time because phone locations get tracked against our own will, so you can guess my answer.

So........I read on CD that the Covid vaccines were used to put these tracking devices in us.

That didn't happen?

My conspiracy-theory friends are gonna be so upset!

What next!

Inserting chips into a person body wouldnt be effective anyway, there are a few ways to disable the chip and the trackers would not be the wiser.

However that doesn't mean I agree with you here. As much as I hate the threat of vaccine mandates, I wouldn't substitute one kind of chaos for another.

I'm sure we're all already tracked anyway with things like smartphones but a chip is probably more powerful or I would be more hyper aware of it. I'd live my life constantly feeling like I'm on display. I'd never be able to do anything in my own room.

Really? They invent this stuff and yet the uses they have for it is ridiculous. Imagine if that chip could make you alert when you needed to be, could hypnotize you into being more desirable to someone you have feelings/attraction for, help you remember where you put lost things but will they let you use it for that? No because they only care about what's good for them not for the consumer.

Nah..that would be too much chaos for me. Can I have one where I can telepathically send a message to someone when I choose? I suppose the downside is if everyone can do that I would no longer have the advantage that it would provide though but hopefully there was a way to prevent that obstacle.

The truckers have a choice. They can get vaxxed or find new employment.
I presume because you think the truckers have marketable talents/abilities that would allow them to easily get another job.

I don't..especially not on FB. I don't even really post there at all. But I'm sure that many people do.

The fact that 14 people said is troubling. Just shows how brain washed they are by the government.
