AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The 5 largest meat packing plants in America, successfully lobbied Trump and the USDA to downplay the seriousness of Covid to workers & their families. 59,000 became sick. At least 269 died. This is Eugenics, not IVF for women. Tyson, JBS & 3 others refused to protect their staff. They knowingly colluded in the sickness and death of employees. Their behavior is a crime against humanity!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce I disagree when Olsen says, the poor & middle class got us into inflation. It’s Corporate Greed 100% & the top 1%. Absolutely, I agree, tax the 1%. Also raise Corporate taxes to 28%. Don’t touch our social security or Medicare. Instead, let everyone pay into payroll deduction and FICA according to your salary. Stop limiting income to be taxed, unless you make the first $118,400 non taxable ? Convert Hedge Funds fee s to income and tax it as ordinary income. Stop the Financial Game playing. If the GOP wants rate increases, they’ll bring us to a Reagan era recession and more stock market sell offs. Stop Corporate Greed & Raise the lower and middle Class safety net. Pay down the deficit by increasing Revenue! Start building America.

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. Meanwhile, India & Pakito are experiencing a heat wave, drought & lack of water. The World needs less fossil fuels immediately. There will be short term hardso as we go to alternative clean energy. We must to save ourselves atom extinction. Too much drought and too little food are the signs of a dying planet. Putin and the old Patriarchy must go! 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 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.
