Category: Fix our Economy now

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Why aren’t the Europeans suffering economically like Americans? They have better healthcare, more generous unemployment benefits, less layoffs. They keep people working on staggered shifts & flexible schedules. They’ll take an economic hot, but their economies will survive and so will their peopke. They care about their employees. Our Oligarchsmainly care about their own self preservation. Otherwise, there would be oversight to maintain employees wages, even if they can’t be productive during a Pandemic.

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 Federal Government giving lip service to return to work, while Governors & the CDC plot a course of testing, tracing & social distancing allowing Americans to return to modified jobs. No one knows whether the Federal government will provide the funding required to ramp up testing efforts. Trump is MIA in details & planning? Just like he was in sign off & allocations of funds to Banks & SBA. 1/2 money released without a playbook for dispersal?
