I’m tired of everyone telling me Government and the Law won’t change in my lifetime or my son’s lifetime. That’s unacceptable. Why not? We’ve got the talent to solve our problems 100%.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/08/russia-ukraine-war-at-a-glance-what-we-know-on-day-378-of-the-invasion Russia has sustained “20,000 to 30,000 casualties’’ – killed and wounded – in trying to capture the city, western officials estimated at a briefing on Tuesday. While no firm figure was offered for Ukrainian losses, the official said it was “significantly less”. Ukraine’s defence of Bakhmut is forcing Russia to engage in a costly … More TheVoiceOfJoyce The World cannot abandon Ukraine, till every Russian invader is removed from their territory. I agree with Zelensky, Ukrainians are fighting for our freedom and the Freedom of the Taiwanese to exist. With Russia’s dwindling population, manpower shouldn’t be expendable. Under Putin, everyone is expendable. Why embark on Genocide, when it’s cheaper to provide goods and services to your own people and the World? The grain deal, goes ahead on 3/18, Putin willing. If I were the Countries dependent on Ukrainian and Russian grains, et Al, I’d lobby for its release and an end to Putin’s invasion.
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/08/us-baby-formula-shortage-one-year-later legislation temporarily waiving tariffs on imported formula in order to ease the crisis. But that order expired at the end of December without being renewed, making imports more expensive again. Temporary waivers, offered during the peak of the crisis to low-income families receiving food assistance, expired at the end of February. That means the … More AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce When I read this article, I thought how is it possible babies requiring special formula’s can’t find nourishment? Years of defunding the Federal Government have limited the reach and power of the FDA. Consolidation of the Baby Formula industry, doesn’t allow for competition. Worse all those import waivers and extra waivers to pay for “ special formula “ have expired. It’s not the mother’s fault, if she can’t supply enough food to her child.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/08/10-most-air-polluted-places-to-live-us The worst 10 hotspots for fine particle air pollution in the US have been revealed by The Guardian in an analysis using cutting-edge modelling. America’s top spot is not a traffic-clogged metropolis or renowned heavy industry zone but a small town surrounded by farmland and mountains. These findings – based on a model developed … More AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce While analyzing the 10 worst pollution hot spots in America, the Guardian determined, Hispanic and Black communities are at their epicenter. However, as we’ve discovered, pollution effects us all and doesn’t hover over one area. Birmingham, Atlanta, St. Louis, rural Amish, Pa, Houston and Bakersfield, Ca. have the worst pollution in our country, if you look at the maps showing WHO standards for acceptable levels of pollution, neighborhoods surrounding hotspots and beyond, don’t meet acceptable levels, either. Carbon Emissions are the main source of Pollution. Why aren’t our representatives at the State and Federal level writing new OHSA, EPA and transportation legislation making our air healthier to breathe? Advocating for less pollution benefits everyone.
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/07/great-atlantic-sargassum-belt-seaweed-visible-from-space There is a lot of carbon biomass associated with sargassum – about 3m tonnes in the Great Sargassum Belt,” Subramaniam notes. “Through photosynthesis it is taking up atmospheric carbon dioxide and converting that into organic carbon.” Sinking it to the bottom of the sea would store that carbon for a couple of centuries, buying … More AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The oceans from the Atlantic thru the Caribbean and into Africa have seen a massive increase in Sargassum, a brownish seaweed, that sweeps our Globe. When it’s contained, fish are nourished. When it’s overgrown, it rots and produces Hydrogen Sulfide and arsenic. The overgrowth is forming as our oceans warm. Why should we care? This form of seaweed traps Carbon and scaled up , it can be collected by robots and sunk in the oceans for centuries. It’s another way to maintain a 1.5 degree Celsius rise in Global temperatures. #Science & technology
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/07/russia-ukraine-war-at-a-glance-what-we-know-on-day-377-of-the-invasion Ukraine has started online talks with partners on extending the Black Sea grain initiative aimed at ensuring Kyiv can keep shipping grain to global markets, a senior Ukrainian government source has said on Tuesday. The source said Ukraine had not held discussions with Russia, which blockaded Ukrainian Black Sea ports after its invasion last … More TheVoiceOfJoyce The EU is accelerating efforts to arm Ukrainian forces. The Wagner group has run out of ammunition. Fighting is fierce in Bakhmut. It’s time to heavily arm Ukraine and allow Zelensky to free Ukrainians from Russian Genocide. The Black Sea wheat and grain negotiations are continuing, with all sides speaking through intermediaries. The UN is actively pursuing security arrangements for Ukrainian wheat destined for the Global South and others. My 2 cents: our foreign policy is in need of a shake up. Why distance ourselves from China? China has not interfered in our elections. Can they be helpful in negotiating peace between Russia and Ukraine? Russia has interfered in our elections and continues to spread misinformation. Russia does not tolerate free speech in their own Country and is sentencing people, in opposition to Putin’s Genocide, for 8-10 yrs imprisonment. No wonder Russia’s youth are leaving their Country, though they would prefer to stay in a free Russian society. There is a schism in Russia, push Zelensky’s military advantage.
