AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce There ought to be a Law providing sick leave, funded by the government for the uninsured, small businesses can’t afford the tab. Also, if major corporations, pension funds continue to be depressed in the stock market, why not consider closing the markets, till we get back to new business? Why let quarterly results hinder moving forward while combating Covid 19? The good news, our pollution problems may temporarily abate!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The worlds forests used to absorb 26% of all Carbon generated in the 90’s. Today the forests only absorb 6% of the Worlds Carbon. There is a major meeting in Glasgow this November on Climate events and targets. Carbon offsets don’t reduce Carbon in the atmosphere, only a switch to Renewables and a new way of generating energy will change our rate of Pollution, our warming feedback loops and Carbon footprint.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce What else will this Administration do to stimulate our Economy & the World’s? Will we keep credit flowing to rich & poor alike? Will we lift tariffs to make the flow of goods easier? Will we invest in R&D , health & healthcare, the poorer nations and our own working poor? We’ve shot one bullet in our Monetary arsenal. How will we help all citizens survive & thrive?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce 27.5 million workers have no healthcare and it will be more difficult for them to seek help or stay home, jeopardizing co workers in the restaurant, construction & healthcare industry along with their families. Instead of lowering interest rates, the Fed could give a $2000-5000 check to over 200 million people and stimulate growth, too! It’s a thought. My 2 cents.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Wrong is wrong. When a recruiter from Oklahoma Christian University asks 11 th graders in Oklahoma to line up according to skin and hair types, he was reported and , I hope, fired. Inappropriate hurtful behavior is never right. Nor is disseminating fake news. Call it out and help the larger Community. We have an obligation to insist on civil behavior & the Truth, no matter who tells the Lie!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Middle Class rising in South America and demanding better public services. The government of Columbia, like Chile, is agreeing to the People’s demands and will raise taxes to keep up with income inequality. There are solutions to our plight. We need to speak up for our rights and they’ll be granted. America is not a dictatorship, we are a Democracy. We deserve clean air & water, good education, affordable healthcare and housing, stimulus in times of need for Main Street

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The Rules changed under Trump. The Media is responsible for reporting facts, not lies. Do not amplify this Administration’s messages. The same is true for all Social Media. The public can’t discern between truth & fiction. Only present the truth or you’ve corrupted Freedom of Speech. Thank you.

This is the time for Labor to be assertive. Use it. Corporations should plan for staffing replacements & supply chain disruptions and post information that concerns the Public
