AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Global warming is destroying our lives. Few in Pakistan and India can endure these punishing temperatures. They can no longer export wheat, when crops are shriveled from the heat. World famine is a self imposed tragedy. The quicker we wean ourselves off dirty fuels , the quicker we’ll be able to live in comfort. Change must come for living a better life. We can no longer rely on coal and fossil fuels!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Unionization is sweeping America. The Gaming industry has its first Union at Activision Blizzard. More to follow as Labor demands a seat at the Corporate Table, fighting for higher wages and good working conditions. Corporate abuse of people is coming to an end. We can look at this progress and know “ the Middle Class is ascendant! “

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Traders Joe’s employees following Amazon workers and forming an independent Union for all Trader Joe stores Nationwide. They want adequate wages, benefits and a say in safe workplace conditions! Kudos. Employees at Target & Apple have petitioned for Unionization, too! Labor will continue to press for higher wages. This is not inflationary, corporate mergers, monopolies , are inflationary and leave a wake of unemployment! #LaborLivingWage

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce: Dare we hope there will be action taken to silence social media platforms promoting chat rooms, for White Supremacists strategies promoting violence? Terrorism & Terrorists should be denied access to Social Media and their groups prosecuted for inciting violence! 22 people witnessed the murder of innocent Americans and millions saw this horrific crime on all Social Media platforms. There can be standards for Social Media Platforms;Regulations. The EU is implementing them now!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce CPAC & HUNGARY’s Orban to meet and share Their hatred of others. As the alt right shares a global banner. Both leaders espoused Hitler’s racism & are Putin and Bannon acolytes. Worse 4Chan is still up and recruiting people like the Buffalo shooter. The site has the Manifesto on line along with copycat videos of violence. If the Buffalo shooter was insane, why not choose suicide not Homicides? That defense isn’t plausible. #SaveLivesRemove4Chan

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As CEO’s & Corporations make record profits, works in retail and the fast food industry barely make $260 a week. That’s not a living wage. With Corporate profits rising, and Corporate generated Inflation rising , too, a $15 minimum wage will barely suffice. People need a Basic Living Wage and Unionization at every level of work insuring better pay, benefits, safe working conditions and a seat at the Corporate Table! We need a # Clean Slate for Labor. We need a change in the Dept of Labor rules, favoring employees and not owners.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce I disagree when Olsen says, the poor & middle class got us into inflation. It’s Corporate Greed 100% & the top 1%. Absolutely, I agree, tax the 1%. Also raise Corporate taxes to 28%. Don’t touch our social security or Medicare. Instead, let everyone pay into payroll deduction and FICA according to your salary. Stop limiting income to be taxed, unless you make the first $118,400 non taxable ? Convert Hedge Funds fee s to income and tax it as ordinary income. Stop the Financial Game playing. If the GOP wants rate increases, they’ll bring us to a Reagan era recession and more stock market sell offs. Stop Corporate Greed & Raise the lower and middle Class safety net. Pay down the deficit by increasing Revenue! Start building America.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce If we begin fracking in the Permian Basin and the Gulf, CO2 emissions will push climate gases up into Billions of Tons and tip our Planet into inhabitability. To be effective against Fossil Fuels greed, the Federal Government must reduce their Trillion Dollar subsidies and enforce anti trust policies, curbing their rise in profits and profits at the pump. While everyone else makes low wages. Oil and gas prices are inflated for profits. This inflation predates the Ukrainian War. Stop Price Gouging and pass legislation helping “We the People “ survive.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Food Banks have become a necessity abroad and here. Their expansion has grown with inflationary pricing. Societies institutions are broken. “We the People “ need a #BasicLivingWage” $10,000 for everyone making $75,000 or less and 18 yrs or older. In America, the founding fathers envisioned, free education at 18 and a funded pension plan . Ideas whose time has come! #Politics Affects US!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Slick PR presents the oil & gas companies as the savior of education? They use their money to influence public opinion, knowing that Fossil Fuels are heating our Planet and destroying our lives.
