Big business loves consolidation of their Power. They are not benevolent. They’re avaricious and exist to raise profits and market share. By allowing mergers and one, two or 3 dominant players in every industry, we created greedy companies, oblivious to the needs of their customers and the root cause of our current Inflationary spiral. We … More TheVoiceOfJoyce If we want competition, the Government has to enforce anti trust Legislation and stop allowing mergers.

I wish I could state, Tesla’s construction site in Austin, Texas, is an outlying case of labor abuse, it isn’t. Unfortunately, Corporate America has become used to charging customers exorbitant fees, while hurting labor, literally and figuratively. Today, it’s Tesla we’re discussing.

TheVoiceOfJoyce The COP27 is meeting and hearing the truth about the worsening of our Planet’s resource safety with uncontrolled Carbon and methane emissions from oil and gas production facilities. The 50 largest emitters are failing to track their emissions. Yet, it’s proven, they could save money and our Planet by plugging their leaks. Exxon Mobil, has been singled out for War crimes, because they knowingly knew the effects of Carbon and methane emissions and denied this reality. Now , the World will struggle to maintain ice caps on the Poles, our resources are dwindling and the Planet may heat beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius. There’s much we can do immediately with the political will. Increase renewable energy, reforest, use graphene in cement production, eliminate coal production, go to hydrogen production of steel, increase mangrove forests and decrease agricultural pollution. All these methodologies exist today and can be implemented immediately. Stop procrastinating and start work and boost our economic growth for the many.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Where do we start? Rich nations and poor nations are feeling the effects of climate extremes. In the US, it may no longer be possible to plant the same crop for the 6 th generation. Our land and water resources are becoming scarce. Mitigation now, on a Global Scale, is essential. Can or will the US lead the way with a Blueprint for expeditiously integrating renewable energy as we decrease our reliance on Fossil Fuels? The longer we wait, the less resources we have and the more Reparations, we and other developed countries, will be required to pay in some form. According to the UN commission, drastic measures are required to not exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius. Considering our dwindling crops and water resources, John Kerry, as our Ambassador, should make every effort to develop a workable plan for our Global survival. We no longer have 30 more years. Thanks to the Fossil Fuels effective Climate Denial propaganda, climate crises is occurring. The plan for survival should include divestment of fossil fuel development globally and replacements expeditiously. Especially in Africa. You can’t blame developed Nations solely for famine, if you’re benefitting from a Fossil Fuel exploration bonanza. Everyone is involved in Planet survival and everyone must contribute a plan for Mitigation. The Island Nations innocent of emission’s abuse should be compensated.

TheVoiceOfJoyce the major manufacturers and Corporate Polluters are concerned about the sustainability of our Agricultural methodologies. Their concern comes at a time when our weather patterns have shifted. Our crops are in peril and having lower yields. If we don’t change , 50% of our land and 70% of our water on the Planet will become unusable. To maintain 1.5 degrees Celsius there is a new urgency for change and the modern Corporations understand, they’ll change or they’ll die. Food production is 1/3 of all planet heating gasses emitted by human activity. To maintain viable Corporations food production must change. The King Charles lll report, studies 3 crops and makes recommendations for sustainability. They crops studied are potatoes, rice and wheat, all global staples. We can be skeptical about Corporate intentions, however, recognition of a problem, is the first step to solving it! One billion people globally work in the Agricultural industry.
