AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The Great WIFI, Broadband & computer divide in America. Many kids don’t have laptops to participate in on line courses. Rural areas don’t have access to continuous internet connection. This is infrastructure in need of work! America needs more than transportation to connect us.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce While grocers get some hazard pay, medical staff are not being reimbursed. Another round of Stimulus from the Federal Government will remedy the situations. Hospitals are not making money on Vovid rescues. That’s what’s wrong with Healthcare. Hospitals are not profit centers. Rethinking healthcare is now another opportunity!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Shame on Trump & TrumpsGOP Isn’t enough that you did nothing to protect lives & our Economy. Now you want to shield big businesses from Liability Insurance. They should be responsible for the health & well being of their employees. Liability will regulate how Labor is treated. It’s enough catering to one class over another. Small businesses always had compensation & Liability Insurance, why shouldn’t Big Businesses? Equality Neutral. The safety of workers, first.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce If paltry & meat processing are considered essential businesses, why aren’t employees tested daily?, suited up with N95 filters & rubber gloves, working with Laminar flow conditions & hepa filters to keep air borne viruses away from the faces & clothes? Protect our lives. Unionize for better working conditions & save your lives. Stagger people & shifts. Sanititize and put executives alongside workers to assure safety and cleanliness of conditions.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce #Shame on us! The Plutocrats got 10% wealthier as 26 million are out of work and millions lack healthcare, which is why they were tied to their Corporate jobs in the 1 st place. I think we need a 3 rd Party that’s Centrist , giving a clean Slate to Labor in 2020. We are back in the early 1900’s right before Teddy Roosevelt was elected and tried to turn around Government. We also need an effective Central Government made up ofScientists, humanists, Technocrats who will cater to The needs of all the People. We don’t want the current GOP, they’re a Plutocracy. Open the ACA now for everyone to obtain Healthcare. Also, on line education isn’t working. We need testing & a vaccine yesterday. At the very least buy an Oximeter . Protect yourself & your family.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Oh, no! The GOP deficit hawks are about to cripple our Economy once again. By my reckoning, not enough has gone to the Middle & Lower Classes. A lot of money has bailed out Corporations. Why are they entitled and we’re? Equality Neutral, TR said and we’re not there yet. You can no longer Monetize Hospitals & Nursing Homes. We need standards of care. We need everyone involved in America’s recovery. There is no inflation, there could be deflation. We need to spend now. We’ve needed this spending since Obama was in office. We’ve suffered long enough. Reject deficit hawks, they don’t represent us.
