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!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Grains and corn destined for Africa and 2.5 million Ukrainians are being held hostage by Russia. Putin doesn’t care about starving people, the Russians , the Ukrainians or the Africans. Ports are mined or blocked. It’s unsafe to ship through mined waters. Putin is responsible for more crimes against humanity. Starvation! Wasting $1.4 trillion on destruction and atrocities in Ukraine.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Forest fires out of control consuming the West. What will happen to our food supply in conditions of extreme drought? If US gears up supplying oil & gas to the World, we hasten our own demise. It would be better to increase Solar Energy, which is at 10% and switch farming back to the south. Remember, Fossil Fuels reliance andBig Agra contributed to CO2 and methane emissions that heat our land. We have to we ourselves off our addiction to Fossil Fuels and increase renewable energy.

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.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce I’m reminding you, dear readers, the Ukrainian crisis is reaching catastrophic proportions. If Putin’s War doesn’t end soon, the price of Wheat, sunflower oil, and other grains will spiral up. The grains of life will become too expensive for the people in the Mediterranean, Africa and China . Two weeks is the window of opportunity. The Ukrainian/Putin War is bigger than these two Nations. Urge your Country’s foreign affairs ministers to sue for Peace. !

TheVoiceOfJoyce Save the Monarch and take the first step toward saving ourselves. We need pollinators for fruit and vegetable pollination. If Pollutants & pesticides are killing the Monarch Butterfly, what are they doing to our bodies? Loss of trees and plants to fires create more heat. We’re pushing nature in the wrong direction. We’re next!

TheVoiceOfJoyce No wonder today’s GOP doesn’t want History to reflect America’s racist past, in many Southern & TrumpsGOP controlled States, they are racist in their response to unemployment benefits. They look upon benefits as a deterrent to work. African Americans get much less than the white population and now they want to cut out benefits that should have extended through September. Raising wages helps everyone. Increased wages equals increased productivity & less inflation. Realistically, until the Jobs act and For the Families Act, child care and many unemployment benefits haven’t reached long term unemployed or workers in the Gig economy. There will be a lag in employment until people experience relief from economic pain and experience the benefits of child care allowances and resumption of schooling. What we’re-seeing is temporary. Be patient and work with your constituents.
