Well, let's speak plainly. It's not the microchip or the stip - it's our own agency. We choose to enter into debt - to place ourselves into bondage. Whether by signing our name on a debt agreement, swiping a credit card, handing over our SSN and agreeing to terms in a phone call, or sticking stuff into a shopping basket and walking past the chip scanner.

The technology isn't the thing that'll do us in - it'll be our own failure to restrain ourselves.

Ohhh....
