August 19, 2020

Fueled by the president’s unfounded claims about rampant voter fraud, and reports of equipment being removed, the plight of the United States Postal Service has captured America’s attention. Will it collapse? Here’s what you need to know. — Read on http://www.propublica.org/article/what-the-post-office-needs-to-survive-a-pandemic-election 1000’s Postal workers have Covid. They need machines, O/T, new procedures for Universal Balloting … More What the Post Office Needs to Survive a Pandemic Election — ProPublica

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Americans have reason to be fearful of permanent job losses. 61 % have not returned to work. There’s no social safety net for them & the GOP Senate is on vacation? Where is their compassion & understanding of the those unemployed? Reductions in unemployment taxes only reduces benefits. Stop the schemes and give everyoneworking or not, Medicare or Medicaid, 18 & older, cash checks to survive a Pandemic that doesn’t affect you, but effects every American. Give a lump sum $10,000 now to 154 million Americans making $75000 or less. Do it now. The Cost $1.6 Trillion. Provide a Social Safety Net and cut down on our stress. If we had had a National Policy to contain Covid, we wouldn’t be in this position today!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Sweden & Germany provide models for modern day policing. It’s similar to our Police Forces years ago when we had psychiatric counseling & social services on call , separate from Community Policing.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce NY Times well worth your time. A short history on how the American worker lost power & the rise of Corporate Influence once again. The preservation of Corporate Power is what drives Trump & TrumpsGOP to divide us. It’s what fuels his passion to let 1% of this Nation die, die to exposure to Covid. This is also our opportunity to push back against their agenda & write our own history of Survival! Take back Government for the People, by the People and incorporate a Clean Slate for Workers, as envisioned by the Roosevelt Foundation & Harvard. It’s never too late to do right. It’s our turn once again!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Looking At inequality in America through charts that clearly show most Americans get less of the Economic pie , less income , less benefits than comparable Nations. Our lifespan is less, our happiness quotient is lower and our healthcare costs more! The American worker has been treated poorly since Unions were in power in the 50’s. Union benefits made a huge increase in our Standard of living !

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Why should Republicans concentrate on the few who’ve gotten $600 extra when Corporations & Wealthy have gotten a 12% return on their money. You’re comparing Trillions dispensed to a few million? There are 40 million out of work. People won’t work without protection from the virus. When they question workplace preparedness, they’re fired. If they’re not returning to work, it’s because the workplace isn’t safe . Why doesn’t OHSA certify safety and compliance with social distancing, masks & air flow. Penalize Corporations for non compliance , not the Workers. #IncreaseStimulusNow!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As we mourn George Floyd, I’m convinced this moment of pain will lead to progressive change in American Legislation. Thanks to the 18-29 yr olds, this moment is a Political movement. It’s not only equal justice we want, we want equal opportunity & pay with dignity, too! People & profits. Corporations who care about the Environment, society & Corporate Governance (ESG’s) #Don’t Stop!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As the World pushes to reopen, days of mourning are proposed along with free stimulus money to member States in the EU that require no repayment and do not add to the National debt. Asian countries doing the same and 6 or 7 months past the Pandemic China is returning to life. America is seeing an uptick in cases outside main Hot Spots. Take reopening slowly. Without People, there are no profits.
