Weren’t people using apps on their phone all over the country to get a cheese burger during covid? Don’t underestimate the stupidity of the average citizen
Lol....how are Soros and Schwab social scores so high? Mass murderers both if they had their way.
Let's see. What's the social credit score based on? If you're nice to your neighbor? Don't kick your dog? Give to charity? Love you parents? Pay your bills on time? Buy a house? Have nice kids? What????
They started getting everyone used to this idea with covid. All of the doctors and hospitals and a few random businesses in my area had temperature scanners at the door. Step up, get scanned, or no entry. People lined up for these things like they were brand new toys.
Oh, wow. Look. The reader-added context shows that the fearmongering is bullshit.
It's just another form of payment, and the customer is able to choose to pay cash instead. And the Chinese government punishes businesses that refuse to accept cash.
Please, people. Stop being so gullible. Don't believe everything you read without doing at least some background work. Not even things posted here.
There's a huge, HUGE difference in noticing that there has been another step taken (like from being able to pay with your phone via ApplePay or whatever to being able to pay by using biometrics like facial recognition) to OMG!!!? They won't let us buy groceries without facial recognition and appropriate social scores!!!!
Going straight to hysterics and "If they try that here, I'm gonna tear their shit down!" and fearmongering is just stupid. There, I said it. It's stupid. I'm tired of all the stupid.
People need to get better hobbies than sitting around looking for shit to be scared and angry about.
I would like the OP to bring forth stronger sauce that this is common throughout China, because no way that this will sneak up on us without forewarning nor resistance.
I think it was a college football venue that has face scanning for your ticket. They are normalizing the behavior here already so why would you think that China wouldnt have implemented it widely?
I'm not doubting that face recognition, or any other biometric, is being used as a form of payment or identity.
What I'm saying is that people are automatically leaping towards this dystopian future where face recognition will be the only way to pay for things and we all will be subject to a social credit check before we can buy food.
Any time any new sort of technology comes out, some people just get scared and go to the worst possible outcome for it.
45 years ago, my step father was sure that credit cards were the Mark of the Beast and we would no longer be able to use cash (or checks) to pay for things. And the government would decide what we could and could not buy. And he double-downed on that when ATMs came out.
I'm sure he would have had an aneurysm when smartphones came out and we could put payment methods on it.
But did any of his nightmares come true? Nope.
But the thing that bothers me the most with this post is how easily people will believe it, with no further investigation or even much thought.
Some random ass person posted a photo of some other random ass person posting a 10-second clip of someone using facial recognition to pay for something in China and now everyone here has jumped to the conclusion that everyone in China has to do this to buy groceries and this is coming to the US soon, where it will be the only way we can buy groceries or anything else and the US is going to set up a social credit score like China. And we'll all have to eat bugs!
Because this is the first time I heard of this news, and not a peep of this was brought up in any other independent China reporting channels like China Uncensored.
Face scanning groceries stores takes a while to develop, and I've would've expected reporters be sounding the alarm long before today, especially Q followers who supposed to know everything.
So, what this is saying is...even if you accept the Mark of the Beast, there's no guarantee that you're going to get anything to eat.
Seems like a bum deal to me.
Problem is: here you can just take whatever the hell you want without issue. I’ve been to Walgreens. I’ve seen it. 🤣. Nobody scanned shit!
I think it is hellish.
Ain't happening.
We will drag those things out in the parking lot and bash the shit out of them before burning them to white ash.
What you think if they implemented this crap here that people aren't going to get robbed of their groceries???
Think again.
Saw a meme (so, don't know if it is true or not), about Jesse James.
The story goes that an old widow had her farm being foreclosed on.
Jesse James gave the old lady the money to pay off the banker, when he came calling.
The banker took the money, and the farm was now free-and-clear.
As the banker was heading back to town, Jesse James robbed him, taking his own money back -- but the farm was now paid off.
LOL!
And they would be justified for stealing the groceries

Entirely different. They weren't being rejected based on a government program.
The unvaccinated absolutely were.

The worst were those Vax apps you had on your phone so the Man can scan your qcode whenever they wanted. So glad that never stuck around.
Just like in the Black Mirror episode.

These poor people.

So, high quality latex masks will become a thing then?
"sure, you can own a gun, but you can't buy groceries, or get on a bus, or buy a car, or a house, etc.
Well, at least one can hunt food with a gun. Not sure about buying a car or house with a gun.🤣
Because this is how this shit starts. You don't do it all at once, start small then expand. Boil the frog slowly...

Guess I hit some nerves and hurt some feelings since someone went to the trouble of getting the baby sitters here to delete my posts. 🙄
The collective emotional IQ of the GAW has gone down in recent months and has reached to a point where, at times, it is no better than PDW.
It's all the more obnoxious seeing how often people here squawk that our freedom of speech is being taken away. 🙄
The terms of use on this site make it very clear it is a private club for Q discussions. You can be kicked out of a private club
I'm well aware of that. Thanks.
Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. There are none so blind as those who cannot see.
Uh huh.
Upvoting for your skepticism.

FFS people. Get a grip.

Maybe you're referring to my comment...
Just to be clear - [DS] take notice...
Whether this is an isolated case or trial run for things to come, one thing should be made abundantly clear:
WE'RE NOT GOING TO PUT UP WITH YOUR BULLSHIT!
If those kiosks go up in America as the only means to buy groceries, we WILL bash the living shit out of them and turn them to ash.
We're just getting out in front of it now that it's been demonstrated as a possibility.
Hopefully that clears up any confusion.
