TheVoiceOfJoyce Aspen powers it’s resort with Methane Gas that has been leaking from decommissioned coal plants. Methane Gas is 10% of emissions leading to Global warming. Give the industry some subsidies from the oil & gas industry and increase their profits. China & the EU already generate electricity from Methane Gas. Stop Global warming , utilize Methane to generate electricity by capping all gas , coal leaks and agricultural waste. Increase jobs, environmental projects and increase ski season by a month. A win win for the economy.

TheVoiceOfJoyce The Texas Legislative conservatives protects its powers at the ballot box. Excludes minorities, educational expenditures, but passes restrictive voting rights and aims to gerrymander all Counties. Meanwhile, the citizens are left to fare on their own with out decent healthcare. Are the Legislators out of synch with the Population? This is a preview of Trumpian politics to come! Be aware and act to save our Democracy!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Bold spending will turn non believers in change to believers. Pass the Family Act & the Infrastructure bills and provide good paying jobs for Americans being temporarily unemployed. FYI The Trump Tax Cuts never helped WE the People only the GOP’s constituents, at great cost to Americans. In NYC we have higher Capital Gains taxes and like other Cities, we’d like full deduction for taxes & mortgage interest. Reverse the cap on SALT, and give the Middle Classes more money to spend & survive.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Work with dignity. That’s how it was in the 70’s & until the Legislation was changed under George Bush, favoring Corporate Power over People Power. Fundamental Change in the laws of the Land must occur. The NLRB has to revert back to FDR , when workers were paid a minimum wage & had bargaining power.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Vouchers worth $2200+ for a 2 bedroom apartment will make 72,000 apartments available to the 60,000 living in homeless shelters. The city spends $6-8,000 a month for dreadful accommodations in shelters and hotels. This is a win win for Low income people.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Amazon workers Gig workers all deserve the benefits of employee status. Only Fundamental Change at the NLRB will create the Legislation necessary to provide rights to organize, right to bargain collectively, rights to participate in the Supervision & layout of the workplace and rights to be on Corporate Boards. All these Rights existed prior to the Bush administration and the appointment of Elaine Chow, Mitch McConnell’s wife , to the Dept of Labor. She was responsible for gutting FDR’s rules and replacing them with Laws favoring Corporate Power and greed. Now is the time to offer a Clean Slate for Workers . Corporations talk about ESG’s. Sounds nice, but they’re not implemented. Labor needs an increase in wages, a minimum wage & benefits. If they get a raise, productivity will increase and prices will go down. It’s a win win for the Economy!

TheVoiceOfJoyce America will prosper when we leave all racial disparities behind us. Equal justice, equal opportunity & education for all. Vouchers to leave poverty areas for better housing & schools. Training for better jobs and policing that must consider the rights of all Americans. No more Military mentality when fighting crimes. We need counseling to coexist with police policy. When we realize all poverty is an issue to prevent, we can raise our Economy and wages and be an engine of change for the World. Increasing our GDP decreases prices by 2%. We’re better off with a robust productive Middle Class.

History/Hitler’s Rise to Power in the 1920’s I can’t help noticing the similarities between Trumps rise to power and Hitler’s. Hitler , too , was discounted as a leader. Jail for him was a blessing. He was treated like royalty in prison & wrote Mein Kamph, his autobiographical manifesto, outlining his ideological plans for Germany. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce YouTube Tuesday’s, Epi #82 ” Nuremberg

TheVoiceOfJoyce In NYC the undocumented, gig workers, long term unemployed are struggling together with no food and no benefits. Scared to get the virus , they’re struggling to survive. Will the undocumented with American kids be eligible for Childcare? What happens to those who have lost jobs, have no benefits and marginal income? Who’s jobs are they taking? The pity, there are few service jobs open and they can’t be filled without childcare!

TheVoiceOfJoyce The Pandemic is waning and we’re giving away 8 tons of Food to half million to a million New Yorkers. Our food pantries are instantly emptied. Food insufficiency & child starvation persist until Congress Passes the For the Families Act and then provides jobs for Everyone. We have skilled technology professionals not working and not able to receive benefits unless there’s a plan in place. So many forgotten people, yet industry shows no sight of innovation and understanding or employment! When will the misery end for millions?
