AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Since the founding of our Republic, those with money have been parsimonious. After the Gilded Age, Labor Rights improved. Now that we’re in a 2 Nd Gilded Age, it’s appropriate to restore rights to Labor once again. Paid sick leave for 14 days is responsible & SavesLives. There’s no excuse, especially when Corporations have never before profited so much from Federal Policy. After giving paid sick leave to your employees, consider a minimum wage. Labor should use this time to organize and form retail, fast food, hotel, & restaurant unions. It is time for a Clean Slate for Labor.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Farmers are employee’s of major Chicken Corporations, based on the controls put upon them. Therefore, they should not incur debts in setting up the coops. That should be the major Chicken Farm Corporate responsibility. Farmers should unionize and sue to recoup their costs. Then, they could make a living too! This is an unfair abuse of Corporate Power.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The People need QE being laid off with no pay is devastating to families. Corporations should be affording 2 weeks min sick pay, lessen restrictions on unemployment benefits, provide Expanded Medicaid in every State& finally issue a large check to Americans. @ $2500 you could cover 164 million Americans costing $420 Billion. Stimulating the Economy at the same time!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce There is no reason for recession. The virus will hang around. Liquidity is needed and a bailout for anyone not getting paid sick leave. 39,000 @$5000 from AT& T is reasonable and promised. Other Corporations should have flex hours to prevent contagion & give a minimum of 2 weeks paid sick leave to everyone, employees & contractors. Expand Medicaid in all GOP States, give out food stamps & unemployment benefits ASAP. no need to panic. Corporations have cash. They should be responsible and spend it on their workforce. Policies needed now for the next Pandemic!
