AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce A Beer costing $7 on the Street can cost $28 at the airport. There is a Law to hold down food & drink pricing and it’s now being enforced. 10% above street prices is acceptable. Now Congress needs to bring done Street Pricing. Anti trust Laws and price controls are necessary to stop runaway Inflation.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Hate leading to a Terrorist act have no place in American Society. Regulate Social Media Platforms & Cable to eliminate Hate & Violence statements leading to Violence & Terrorism. This young man gloried in his act of terror, just like the murderers of Charlie Hebdo , in Paris in 2015. Stop Hate Crimes and ban the weapons of choice. #SaveOurLives

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Food Banks have become a necessity abroad and here. Their expansion has grown with inflationary pricing. Societies institutions are broken. “We the People “ need a #BasicLivingWage” $10,000 for everyone making $75,000 or less and 18 yrs or older. In America, the founding fathers envisioned, free education at 18 and a funded pension plan . Ideas whose time has come! #Politics Affects US!

TheVoiceOfJoyce While Trump was being investigated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. He failed to answer Congressional subpoenas . At the same time he was secretly investigating Journalists and Congressional representatives investigating him, along with members of their family. All this illegally conducted by the DOJ under AG BARR! When did we become a police state? Imagine if the 1/6/21 Insurrection was successful? Oregon has thrown out one Legislator involved in the 1/6 uprising, Congress should appoint a Special Counsel and do the same! Autocracies that sweep people away in the Middle of the night are definitely not the American way. Stand up for Democracy! Not party, not a person, our way of life depends upon our activism!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce In 2008 Americans bailed out Banks that defrauded us. Now the Fed wants to bail out Corporations with excessive debt. NO! Not when Main Street Starves & has no Healthcare. The weak Corporations made money on their debt. The American people have given our lives to preserve Corporations. Pay us first and provide a social safety net. We don’t have to worry about Microsoft & Apple, the 2 Nd & e rd tier Corporations may be in trouble. So what? Who is shedding a tear for small business? No Bailout. Let them bail in! We’ll create new industries.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Why should chocolate production be different from fair pricing for coffee? Do impact investing. Save our Environment, care about children & poverty, eliminate child labor and benefit Society. Good Corporate governance demands fair pricing, education, infrastructure for the Ivory Coast & Glana. Otherwise, there is no cocoa supply!

February 18, 2019

    Donald Trump and his regime are dangerous on many levels: Domestically: they’re increasing Climate Catastrophe by catering to the Energy Industry. They are keeping folks sicker by withholding adequate healthcare. Their tax cuts to big businesses & the ultra wealthy have decreased revenue to the States, making needed Infrastructure repairs difficult and curtailing … More America Speaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The Trump era , in brief, Foreign & Domestic Policy Periscope @11am Monday
