AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Core inflation is lower. Gas and food prices driving inflation. Government can curtail Inflation by putting pressure on Large Corporations. FDR did that during the Great Depression. We still need the For the Families act to survive. And a higher basic minimum wage! Change our lifestyles now.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce We’ve defined the Freedom of Speech problem on SocialMedia and cable news. It’s time to rein in the lies, the hate speech and the bullying & violence. Real harm has been done. The EU is Regulating Social Media Platforms and the penalties for offending Platforms are steep. Companies can be fined according to their total revenue generated, Billions. And if non compliance continues they can be banned from usage in the offended Country. The EU is serious about lies, hate speech and violence. When will America regulate Social Media Platforms and Cable. Stop the culture wars and violence and let Truth rein in the Public Square.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The War in Ukraine can’t end too soon. Russia is fighting over someone else’s territory and fossil fuels are weaponized.

Their egos over shadow what’s right for humans survival.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Corporations are passing on 25% increases to consumers who no longer have a Social Safety Net. The For the Families Act is a necessity for most, along with rent relief and student Loan Debt. We bail out Corporations permanently and leave nothing for the poor and Middle Class. What happened to our shared burdens? Government intervention and anti trust enforcement policies have to stop Corporate price gouging fueling inflation. WE’re helping others, let’s help “#We the People “.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Recognition that a lack of competition is driving up prices and hurting the most vulnerable among us! We need anti trust regulations and competition in the Market place to drive down prices. Especially , Now, with interest rates rising, Personal debt will soar.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Blame the oil & gas companies for continuing their production of Fossil Fuels, knowing the consequences to our planet and water supply. Blame administrations that continued to encourage Fossil Fuels over renewable ent. California is suffering fraught in 95% of the state. The Southern counties, including LA can’t water their lawns except, once a week? People in all counties need drinking water, that should take precedence over Lawns. #. #StopBigAgraSubsidies & #Fossil Fuel Subsidies #GoSolar fast

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Substandard wages for Retail and fast food workers are unacceptable. While major Corporations report record profits and higher costs to consumers, wages lag. Unionize and get a living wage, paid leave and a say in Corporate affairs.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Corporate Greed of 10 retailers sending up food + prices. Corporations are making consumers pay for the inflation they caused. Where’s anti trust enforcement and an increase in Corporate taxation to 29%. Plus more money to fund IRS to collect $1 Trillion in tax evasion? Why should the lower and middle Class suffer for Corporate Greed? Enough!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Big Farms plant for profit eliminating bio diversity. As our planet warms with short term policy, neglecting reality many will starve. We can mitigate food insufficiencies by planting without pesticide, with solar and using Israeli innovation. Israel can produce rice and wheat with higher salinity water in the desert. They have a device that takes water out of the atmosphere and saves it for people and plants. The age of oil dependency has to end to innovate for our future. We can no longer be influenced by big oil and big Farms. Nor can we allow Greg Abbot the Governor of Texas destroy our fruits and vegetables, because he has the power to hold up our Supply Chains. We the People can no longer afford to vote passively, our lives depend on us becoming concerned involved citizens.
