Tonight's episode is a rebroadcast, covering one of the many news stories which are very important, and will have a major impact on our future - but which, like so many other important stories, has been largely ignored in favor of covering our crazy President. It's understandable, the desire to get hits and to cover the leader of the free world as he acts more bizarre by the day, but this story will have an effect on your future. I mean, people are getting chipped - that is as important to the future of privacy, society, tech and so much more, as the latest outrageous tweet insulting France, or Southern California or whatever. Please listen, because one day your boss may call you in and demand that you be chipped - as could your co-op, or passport office, or who knows what. This is serious Black Mirror/Minority Report stuff, and it's already taken over Sweden! If it can make people money, and help your employer and government keep tabs on you, you'd better believe it's coming to America and beyond, and soon.
