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 New Stone Age in London till 5/15. Using stone to reduce our Carbon Footprint. They’re doing it in the West Bank Town , Rawabi & also in Abu Gosh. Old has become new.

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 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 No supply, lack of demand, people out of work; potential problems. Don’t cut rates, empower the Fed to give $5000 in cash handouts to everyone making $75-100,000 or less about 200 million people, to stop the market slide, halt markets globally. We’ve lost & $5Trillion in value now, stop the slide. Meanwhile, stock food, water & medicines for 1 month. No need to panic. My source in China says they’ll be working end of March. Peoples needs come first. Big business & the Banks are able to assess their own requirements. Meanwhile, our CO2 pollutants will decrease & air quality may improve. We may wind up healthier, if we can leadership not denial or despair!

There ought to be a Law & Standards of Health Care: If you’re isolated & quarantined by the Federal Government, don’t assume they’re picking up the total tab. One parent & child found bills totaling $3800 waiting for them when released by the Federal government. Working people can’t afford surprise expenses. This happens routinely to all of us. It doesn’t have to. Surely, this is a non partisan issue that should be codified? We can’t afford 4 more years of no work on the People’s behalf

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Want to understand the plight of the white working class today & why they sought help from Trump, look at the African American Community in the 60’s & 70’s. If you treat people badly enough, for long enough, bad things happen. Our people are committing suicide, abusing Alcohol and Opiods and dying from despair. There can be a bright future for Americans, if we invest in Labor, R&D and start those infrastructure projects all over America, not only in GOP States. One America united for all to prosper.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Freedom, schools, scientists, the press, LBGTQ community under attack by Bolsanaro Brazilian government. The People are pleading for help! This scenario is playing out Globally as Leaders are empowered to suppress “We the People” for personal gain. The People are speaking out, who’s coming to their aid?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce If all else fails to prevent an above the Law President, then this former Republican prosecutor recommends, pursuing a 3 rd article of Impeachment of Trump based on Bribery. The same witnesses can be called to testify. This may only be round 1.
