4 Unions want better working conditions. They’re understaffed and over worked with out advanced scheduling. They want a schedule and 15 days of paid sick leave. Sounds fair.

Big business loves consolidation of their Power. They are not benevolent. They’re avaricious and exist to raise profits and market share.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Diabetes is the 7 th largest cause of death in America. 1.3 million Americans have Diabetes and struggle to pay for their medication. Insulin is rationed and prior to the last decade, it was cheap. Corporate deregulation set in , greed abounded and the price increased dramatically.

What happens to families with kids? Where is the relief from Corporate Price abuses for them? There’s no competition in the insulin market, the manufactures make the money, the middleman makes money and the taxpayer pays. Another, thank you to today’s GOP.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Yes, TikTok deserves scrutiny and regulation for misinformation and disinformation. Yes, it’s tied to China and there’s censorship of videos on “ banned subjects”, like Ukraine or the Uyghurs , it’s the algorithm that promotes content. The For You Page, uses an algorithm that aggregates all personal data and pushes videos toward an individual, intensifying their experience and in some cases, causes emotional harm and violence. Don’t single out TikTok, all the Social Media Platforms are aggregating our data, predicting our behavior and selling our behavioral patterns to third parties. We have no privacy. We may not want a corporation to decide what we see and what we choose. Nor do we want our data to go to Human resources, or insurance or credit agencies. How will the new Law, going through Congress, curtail the use of our data and behavior? How will the new Law Change Section 230 of the Communication decency act, allowing us to sue the platforms, if we’re harmed? Who will regulate the algorithms to stop the hatred, the incitement to violence, the self harm and mental confusion caused by the algorithms? What Law will stop the Harmful amplification of violent and abusive data? The algorithms either must be transparent for regulation to a standard or there must be enough sampling of data to enforce a change in the algorithms? Society is not safe with an unregulated Technology systems, that is not understood. How many people realize all their news is curated for them all the time? these silos of data, create a wedge in our Society polarizing our thoughts through algorithms design. The Social Media Platforms are not neutral and they’re unequal. Voices are not heard or amplified in a fair and just manner. The truth is not seen by the the many.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Wages going up are inflationary? Since the crash of 2008, the poor and middle Class have become less well off. Now there’s a 5% raise in some wages. Why are wages inflationary and the Fed doesn’t look a Corporate Greed and profits. Nor does the Fed look at homelessness in our cities or Inflation in housing and rental pricing? Also, I’m other articles, I’m reading not everyone who wants a job can get one? Perhaps it’s time to readjust our Inflationary metrics? Wages aren’t inflationary yet. When Labor makes pre pandemic and pre crash wages, labor will have normalized and have greater buying power. That’s not inflation. That’s going back to an economic bell curve, symbolizing more economic equality.

TheVoiceOfJoyce How is it possible Disinformation is amplified? Why do Social Media sites lack adequate content control? Self regulation of all Social Media sites , Big Tech and the spin offs, like Parlor or Truth Social, spread falsehoods that are retweeted and then they are passed back to the larger Social Media sites. Nothing stays in one silo, the algorithms and individuals creating false narratives, do it full time. Many are paid. If text doesn’t pass the moderators on major tech platforms, then videos pass. This is how false and disinformation spreads, undermining our Democracy. A few conservative players, with a vested interest to keep Trump politically active, are spreading the majority of disinformation about the Democratic Party and the January 6 th Insurrection. They’re also creating misinformation about the election and polling sites. If you remember one thing when you vote in the 2022 mid terms and you must vote, vote Democratic or Independent. The Republican Party cooperates with each other and have one platform. The Republican Party no longer represents people, they represent UN regulated businesses, the ones that are now harming American workers and they represent states Rights, the ones who are making it difficult to vote and difficult to have expanded Medicaid and Healthcare. The Republicans have also become the Party of Climate deniers and don’t want innovations and innovators!
