TheVoiceOfJoyce Fire has always claimed lives in Tennessee and their volunteer fire department is underfunded. The firemen are skilled and overwhelmed, especially compounding unintentional fires, the State is in Drought. Funding Fire Departments to meet new needs is a priority. Is your state having similar problems? Why not get together for solutions. Tennessee is also having trouble keeping private colleges open and they’ve got long term unemployment. In an era of rising prices and inflation, it’s harder to maintain higher education and we have to wonder, what happened to the jobs? This is a National problem? Solutions?

TheVoiceOfJoyce Under Trump the airlines will continue to overcharge as TSA and Air Traffic Controllers are understaffed and some not paid.

TheVoiceOfJoyce A love letter from Heather Cox Richardson to the State of Maine, celebrating statehood today. When Maine separated from Massachusetts, it was a Northern abolitionist state and as its famous residents spread westward, they joined with Abraham Lincoln and founded the Republican Party to counter the influence of the reigning Oligarchy. We’ve seen oligarchs establish themselves on American soil, believing they’re vision is better then the people’s, because they are better than US. Unfortunately, it took the civil war to defeat the first Oligarchs. They were defeated and Democracy reemerged. Just like today, we have a different oligarch class and they , too, will be defeated and we’ll have a stronger more cohesive nation!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Yesterday the Supreme Court declared Trump’s abuse of the Emergency Powers Law to create Tariffs unconstitutional. The tariffs were struck down. Tariffs cost businesses extra, were a tax on Consumers costing $1000-1700/yr and created a shrinkage in our economy, manufacturing base and labor employed. However, Trump and his regime intend to reinstate tariffs through procedural measures, unless Congress stops Trump?!
