oyster gold

[hampton]

Have you seen those adverts saying "cash is dead", "the penny's dropped", etc?

Well, a new credit card from barclays functions as an oyster card too.
People in london are economically blackmailed to use these cards, which track where you travel.
Although they have to be placed on sensors to work,
I'm sure they can be tracked by other sensors which you don't have to touch.
Take-up was slow at first so you don't need to register the cards anymore,
although they'll just use facial recognition, etc to identify you when you use the card.

The new cards will allow purchases upto £10 with a flick of your wrist.
Oyster cards are planned to be the only way to buy goods at the 2012 olympics.
How long before we need the mark of the beast, sorry subdermal microchip in order to buy a loaf of bread?

I have indeed seen those signs, couldn't believe it at first,
we are truly arriving in Orwell's nightmare vision of the world.

This is a nice preview to what it would be like living under a 100% credit-based global currency. You surely must know about how they arbitrarily changed the rules of oyster about touching-out in November, if you don't touch-out now, I believe you get fined something like £4 per journey.

Over and above any daily cap. And they just help themselves to your credit, then the onus is on you to spend time fighting to claw it back.
Which they know damn well the majority of people just can't be bothered to do.
