AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce A breakdown of Trust perpetuated Flint Water Crisis. Government officials knew the hazards of providing tainted water to the Township and coveted it up. Thousands have been poisoned ! 2 hr Documentary out on the facts.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce My Opinion on Cash bail out to the Middle Class has been echoed by Furman of the Wall Street Journal. Cash is stimulus. Loosening food stamps, unemployment insurance and Expanding Medicaid in all States would be a help too! This is our 1 st Pandemic, it won’t be our last. We’ll need Government policies to maintain business & the stock market!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Latest map of Covid 19 in United States. Wash with soap & water. Use alcohol swabs instead of Purell. Be a responsible Corporate citizen, follow Apple’s example and give paid sick leave. Corporations don’t need more tax cuts, they need to pay contractors for sick leave. GB had 5 million more cases of H1N1 without paid leave. Now everyone gets paid sick leave to cut down on contagion. We can do it, too! It would be cheaper than $800 Billion.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Sign the petitioners clipboards, take time to advocate for yourself. You don’t have to remain at low wages with Congressional representatives who don’t represent you. Sign for $15 /hour and Unionize. Pick yourself up and register and vote too! The folks in Congress look good because you voted for them, if you’re good enough to think about your future, you’re good enough for government too!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Set a new precedent, determine what you give to Charity & give extra pay increases to your employees first. Than they’ll be able to stay home if they get Covid 19. It’s good for your business, good for your employees and guaranteed to curtail the virus’ spreading. Do society a favor, $4000 extra means survival & unending loyalty. Do it now!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Diseases of Despair can be eliminated with a vocational or BA degree. It shouldn’t be difficult to provide training or an education to prevent premature deaths. We’re unlike any other Western Nation, we care more about Profits and less about People! There are solutions to our State of Inequality.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce A global recession is a time for cooperation among nations, lifting of tariffs and stimulus and cash pumped into the National Economy! This is not the time to worry about deficit spending or inflation. This is a time for quantitative easing for the Middle Class. Use Treasury’s repo bonds to give a basic living wage to Middle & lower classes. A basic living wage, now!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce How are we going to teach our children the analytical skills needed to survive & thrive, when we curtail funding to tenured professionals & make adjuncts travel 100’s of mikes to make a days wages. Late Stage Capitalism has been cruel to academia but lucrative to Administrators &, sports complexes & cafeterias. The “physical plant” doesn’t teach our kids. Invest in professional educators and innovate to remain current !

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.
