AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Ross Douthat & Nicholas Kristoff are both right. Income inequality fosters depression and mental distress in the Wealthy, who produce & innovate little. While the 90% who remain with stagnant wages & diseases of despair would benefit from a cash infusion. It doesn’t have to be much, . I was proposing $12,000 & Rutger Bergman has seen that $5000 may be sufficient to help those in poverty create better lives for themselves, while decreasing costs dramatically in healthcare needs. A mentaly healthy population pays big returns on GDP. In my next YouTube I’ll recite the #’s

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce If there is no fine or Law regulating Benzene emissions at oil refineries, they are contributing to cancer & asthma in Poor African American Communities. Self regulation doesn’t work! Why should people suffer for Oil Refineries lack of concern? There ought to be a Law. Pollution Kills !

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce According to an Independent non partisan poll by the Financial Times only white males in America feel that they are better off financially. All women are the worst off and African Americans & Hispanics are also suffering economically. The Economy is selectively helping very few. The statistics show our Economy is 2.1 while under Obama it went to 2.3. The stock market is up 7%. These are the facts. If you’re not better off under Trump don’t vote for him again

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Fossil Fuels are in trouble, if we want to maintain 1.5 degrees C, 80% will stay in the ground. Black Rock and 200+ Investment Managers are intending to divest from Major Fossil Fuel Cos. Conservative Politicas is at odds with reality, but there is a solution, maintain some Subsidies and Segway to Renewables. People will be fighting over clean water, if we don’t curb Carbon Emissions. Pollution, health & education & survival is everyone’s business big read FT & charts on Fossil Fuel costs

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Forests are not a barrier to fires when a region becomes warmer. Australia had forests and bragged about their capacity to mine & export Fossil Fuels. We can’t have it both ways. Production & extraction of oil & gas causes fires. Australia lost 24 million acres to fire. In America our Coasts from Maine through the gulf states are eroding, too. We need to plan for renewables

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The lay-offs we don’t hear about because of Boeing greed. They could have absorbed the retail$500,000 fix , instead they stiffed their customers and employees. Thousands are out of work and not sure when if ever they will be employed. Monopoly power, is absolute power and it corrupts! The CEO’s are making the big bucks? Why?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Economy slowing to 2.1 down from 2.9 GDP as consumer spending lags. If you don’t pay employees, who will buy your products? Late Stage Capitalism is not sustainable. Corporate power merged with government erases our voice unless “we the People” vote TrumpsGOP out of office

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The Boeing 737 Max flew while employees & management knew this plane was unstable without extra training. It would have added an additional $500,000 approximately to rain pilots. This should have been a Boeing cost not a customer cost. Corporate self regulation doesn’t work. That’s why we have Regulations and Laws. Boeing was assured business through the Iran Treaty and global contracts. Why design a plane with technical issues?
