Palm Payment in China with We Chat

Everyone is freaking out about Digital currencies and cashless societies. We saw the unprecedented insanity of Justin Trudeau freezing bank accounts without a court order for simply donating to the Convoy. That was an abomination. What we saw then reinforces people's concerns with a cashless society. 

This Tik Tok video shows a guy using his palm to make  a payment at a store in China using We Chat. Some people say oooh look at that. It's so modern. Others say OMFG that is creepy. The government can just shut off your ability to buy or sell with a flip of the switch. 

In Sweden they were all excited about putting ther debit cards and ID onto a chip then surgically implanting that chip into your hand. They all thought oooh this is so modern. The rest of us are freaking out saying how could that possibly be a good thing?

Today at Save on Foods my son noticed two alternate payments methods were We Chat and Ali Pay. Two programs used in China. The same We Chat the guy in the Tik Tok video used to pay with his palm print. 

At Superstore I see the staff time clock. They scan in and out with a fingerprint scan like on some IPhones. People can argue that palm print, finger print or eyes scans to open your phone is added security but many see it as George Orwell. 

Kind of makes you think of the mark of the beast requirement to buy or sell food. Some people claim bar codes start and end with the number 6 and have the number 6 in the middle of the bar code for quick scanning. I don't know what the mark of the beast is, but I don't see any of this as good.
