AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Trump chooses food distributers through patronage and leaves known Farm to table distributors off the list and totally ignores the entire NE corridor with the worst infections and containing 10% of USA population. Trump got back at us for ? What? The entire Country is paying for Trumps & TrumpsGOP election? Never again?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Profits over People were the motives behind Tyson’s lack of a policy protecting workers. Doesn’t Management read? Where was their compassion for people becoming ill? Where was supervision on the job? Why couldn’t the Union seek protection? It’s up to the Plant to provide safe working conditions for Employees. Perhaps there should be OHSA rules and regulations written & posted in every job location for people to read about work proceedures under Covid 19 conditions. Stagger the lines and your shifts. It’s common sense. Distance employees and train them with proper masks. It’s hard to work under these conditions. It’s natural to hyperventilate. Once fear and mistrust set in, its difficult to overturn. You can , if you care about People & Product & profit

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce 50 million people are food insecure. Don’t we have refrigerated trucks, trains & volunteers properly protected to take the food to Market , Communities & food banks. State National Guard? US Army? Logistics & personnel solutions.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce All across America people are queuing for food, unemployment benefits, voting, when they should be home Self Quarantined. There ought to be an easier way to survive & vote? In parts of America food is wasted, thrown out, it’s a shame when, all over our Country people live in food deserts. Can’t the farmers rent trucks, take their produce and meat where it’s needed and feed the Hungry. It’s not easy to order food in the big cities. The entire Country could benefit from better food to table ideas. I’d bring milk tankers into towns and fill up gallon jugs for peopke, like they do in poor countries when they run out of water. There is a huge need for food, vegetables, meat, chicken & milk, don’t waste, make haste, to a town not far from you. In this season of renewal, share with others less fortunate. Have a blessed day.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Delhi, another polluted city , in a Country that takes 3 rd place, behind China & USA , breathes clean air for the first time in decades. Prior to the Pandemic, particles were at 900 and now they’re at 20? Does anyone want to go back to the old ways. The time to transition to cleaner healthier air is now. Let’s not forget, viruses are carried by pollutants too! Also, underlying asthma makes you more susceptible to a Covid 19 infection. Worldwide heealth & healthcare will become a priority along with lower Carbon Emissions. There is a direct correlation between them!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce When we plunder our World, biodiversity changes & old ways of life endure to our Global peril. Scientists have determined that wildlife markets & the consumption of exotic wildlife & their use in medicine must be banned for humanity to survive. There is a direct correlation between wildlife markets & virus transfer to man. If we don’t want to destroy our existence, these practices must be banned. Then we can address pollution control, better healthcare & education. We can no longer react to events, if we’re to have a future, we must plan how to preserve our planet & ourselves.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Food insecurity continues for the poor. Now it’s worse as people shelter in place, food must be delivered to them. Many have no cars and locally price gouging is increasing their misery. We have a food supply chain problem & it has to be remedied before people in America die of hunger. Just in time thinking, doesn’t help the people. Remember, this will happen again & all people should be food secure, healthy& educated! Where’s Mississippi’s Governor ? Mayors need assistance & resources to be effective.
