AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Infrastructure, transportation via automobiles is a requirement for life in America. Many who live in Rural areas have several old cars, so one is always running.Americans have cited poor transportation as a reason for not getting to work. Now no one can get out to purchase groceries, go to restaurants. The price of gas is too high. This inflation started before the War between Putin and Ukraine. It started with all inflationary pricing, caused by greedy monopolies. America’s dependence on oil & autos is 100+yrs old. California roads were to be RR’s , that didn’t happen with pressure from Exxon and the automotive industry. Now we need convenient public transportation. When will government take this opportunity to go trains and electric buses. Innovation starts now! Advocacy starts now. It’s necessary to shape a World for the 21 st Century. A world where we live and breathe clean air. Change your Legislative bodies on the local and state levels. Don’t accept big government that doesn’t support “we the People “!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Inflation has been with us for 6-9 months. Wages for the Lower & Middle Classes have not kept up with inflation/cost of living. When families have to skip meals or medications, America has a humanitarian crisis. Our cities are not being bombed and many Americans, 1450/day are dying from Covid. Our Infrastructure is inadequate. Our kids require medial studies. Women are not re entering the work place because they Lack adequate childcare and they lack transportation. For the Families Act is still a requirement. We pledged $12 Billion for the Ukrainians and that is humane. Why not be equally humane to our fellow Countryman? Don’t leave any child behind. We need strong well educated citizens to thrive in the 21 st Century. Pass for the Families Act and Stop greedy monopolies from increasing prices, because they lack competition. Write your Congressional representative and let them know you’re desperate for price relief and just wages. The poor and Middle Classes need government intervention, too!

TheVoiceOfJoyce YouTube Tuesday’s #87 “We” Can do Spirit!

The possible & what is. Looking at our World and mentioning other Country’s approaches to issues that concern us. Making the case for treatment of employees with dignity & respect. People need understanding, a social safety net and often a monetary cushion to look for work to become more productive & self reliant. Listen to … More TheVoiceOfJoyce YouTube Tuesday’s #87 “We” Can do Spirit!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Instead of talking about our rise in violence & meanness, we, everyone of us, can aim for one decent act per day. I still believe our Economic stagnation is causal to meanness & violence. That coupled with cancel culture & identity politics, encourages mistrust, where everyone is the enemy. A healthy productive society doesn’t have tone for meanness! We cure our sick. We pay decent wages and staff jobs appropriately, not stingily! Treat peopke with respect and dignity and we’ll see a less violent & mean person! We’re all waiting for the Hobs Act, the child care relief and educational program! Pass those bills before vacation and people will feel valued. Without Fundamental Change , standards of care, labor rights there is no progress!

TheVoiceOfJoyce If you work for Amazon, you work overtime, you’re overwhelmed & HR & shop management are augmented by AI. Employees are encouraged to leave. There is no upward mobility for hourly employees. If you became sick with Covid, disability may not be covered. Is it any wonder Corporations are finding it difficult to find employees? Life has become precious. That’s why we need Fundamental Change. New rules for Workers giving them the right to organize and have a say in their workplace environment. Instead, we’re getting Corporate PR telling Americans how invested they are in Employees? PR doesn’t replace real commitment. When Corporations stop getting $20 back for every $1 invested in a Congressional representative, we’ll have Culture Change!

TheVoiceOfJoyce GOP adds to disregard for People, compounding , their anti Democracy Voter Suppression Laws by cutting off unemployment benefits prior to the September cutoff. 19.3 million people are food insecure. How can they hurt so many and still be a popular Political Party? Do you honestly think the GOP cares if you’re poor white or a minority? They’re interested in maintaining their Oligarchy! We the People, have no place in their plans for America’s future! Think again , when you vote!

TheVoiceOfJoyce While Trump was being investigated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. He failed to answer Congressional subpoenas . At the same time he was secretly investigating Journalists and Congressional representatives investigating him, along with members of their family. All this illegally conducted by the DOJ under AG BARR! When did we become a police state? Imagine if the 1/6/21 Insurrection was successful? Oregon has thrown out one Legislator involved in the 1/6 uprising, Congress should appoint a Special Counsel and do the same! Autocracies that sweep people away in the Middle of the night are definitely not the American way. Stand up for Democracy! Not party, not a person, our way of life depends upon our activism!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Drought overtakes the West & Southwest and no counting on the Monsoon to increase rainfall. Last year it was a no show. What happens to ski season, tourism? No snow, no water, warm weather? We need energy solutions yesterday and a chance to survive. Don’t hold your breath for Congress to act, Bipartisanship doesn’t go far enough to help “We the People “. We need Biden’s large Infrastructure plan, nothing less will make a dent in restoring our resources and our future!

TheVoiceOfJoyce The “Big Lie” and fraud continue as Dark Money & inept “auditors” use Partisan oversight to re examine the Peoples ballots endlessly in an attempt to find Voter fraud where none exists, to overturn a legitimate Election . The question, will TrumpsGOP let these fake audits end? They won’t, because they like the status quo;Voter suppression, in fighting among groups, poor education, encouraging a lack of scientific &technological proficiency, low vaccination rates , low wages, cut In unemployment benefits, & programs that Hurt “we the People “! Why change when they can be paid by Lobbyists to support industries rather than citizens ! It’s past time for all people in the Lower & Middle Classes to understand that anyone who denies us the right to vote, a good education, healthcare and decent wages , is not working on our behalf. There is no bipartisanship now, let’sinsist that Biden’s economic plans pass along with Federal guidelines for Election Reforms. Than we want a minimum wage, & a change in the NLRB. New Laws to help all labor return to pay with dignity. A Clean Slate for Workers!
