TheVoiceOfJoyce Fire has always claimed lives in Tennessee and their volunteer fire department is underfunded. The firemen are skilled and overwhelmed, especially compounding unintentional fires, the State is in Drought. Funding Fire Departments to meet new needs is a priority. Is your state having similar problems? Why not get together for solutions. Tennessee is also having trouble keeping private colleges open and they’ve got long term unemployment. In an era of rising prices and inflation, it’s harder to maintain higher education and we have to wonder, what happened to the jobs? This is a National problem? Solutions?

TheVoiceOfJoyce: Perhaps more people should listen to Jason Kander , he personally dealt with and wrote about his PTSD. His nightmares and terrors paralyzed him, till he started, dealing “ with his shit”. Many of us, have not taken the time to understand ourselves and know ourselves, our strengths and weaknesses. When I had Cancer, it was essential to listen to my body. I’m getting through life by understanding myself and being Compassionate. I’ve used various tools to help me; counseling,Feldenkrais, Meditation & Qi Gong! Read Jason’s book or seek help, knowing yourself, being kind to yourself, is the first step toward being more compassionate towards others.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Black Women have been involved for years, trying to obtain clean water and sanitation for millions. Biden’s infrastructure Bill can address this issue , along with clean air. While speaking about infrastructure, there are sections in NYC where the gas has been turned off for a year & Internet service is off equally long. This is the upper west side 80’-90’s . Our Country needs this Stimulus now. New Jobs , retraining and safety nets in place to assure adherence to new standards. Fundamental Change!

Take it daily and feel confident we can go back to school & work. This test will save our lives & our Economy.
