AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Every vote counts. #RockTheVoteIn 2020 for an electorate that cares about “We the People “! 500,000 votes were discarded in primaries, don’t miss an opportunity to cast your ballot correctly, ahead of time, if possible, in November. Every vote counts and then let’s move forward together.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Now that so many of us are experiencing isolation, we can relate to the loneliness of Millennials. Overworked, overwhelmed & underpaid. This is not living. Americans should survive and thrive! We can write our history by voting in November. Every vote does count. That’s why we’ve been brainwashed to believe it doesn’t.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce With upwards of 30 million unemployed and no end to Covid, this is a perfect opportunity to give Americans a Basic Living Wage. $1600-2000 a month working or not, unemployed or not, Medicare & Medicaid. People must survive and pay bills. Without Masks, a policy of RapidSalivaTests, we’re not curtailing the virus for anther 6 months. Let’s give Main Street a break, CEO’s have been remunerated. Corporations have been bailed out. Only the People remain impoverished!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Can’t drilling in the Alaskan Refuge be blocked by Lawsuits? When the rest of the World realizes we’re in a Climate Crisis. Why persist in further environmental destruction? To save mankind, we have to embrace a low Carbon footprint. Trump is denying Climate crisis, same as he’s denying Covid-19 destruction & suffering. “We the People “ are not benefitting from his policies.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Flint’s problems occurred when the prior Government awarded a contract to divert Flints . When the water was found to be tainted, they redirected the water lines from a GM plant & kept the tainted water flowing to poor Flint Residents. Greed, destroyed lives. They need the settlement to survive.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Since the Mayor is using RapidTests in Sunset Park & Park Slope in Brooklyn & parts of the Bronx , why not make these tests available to all students and teachers and staff? It may cost a few million ( $3 million?)for tests twice a week & peace of mind for everyone. We’ll stop the Outbreaks and be able to resume our lives.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce If you’re wealthy, Live in LA school district or a NYC hot spot , RapidTests are available. Release them to the entire population. Harvard’s strip test costs a $1 a day. Only RapidTests requiring a device costs a little extra. Not what they’re charging , because the Quidel or BD machine cost around $9000. Why only the rich or emergencies, they work, we should all have testing at home and Stop Outbreaks and find the virus before it spreads.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce There’s an old saying, a carpenter only sees a nail. Trump only sees money for him & friends. Opening up the Arctic to drilling is the worst idea of many. Does he anticipate Fire Tornadoes as the earth warms or more Carbon Emissions? No only cash. No planning. What did he envision when he had no plan either for the Covid Pandemic? Shouldn’t we solve one problem first, before rushing to create another? Disturbing Nature has no good outcomes. That’s why Covid is the first of many Pandemics. Why can’t he control his worst instincts? It’s not easy, but doable , when you care about consequences.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Americans have reason to be fearful of permanent job losses. 61 % have not returned to work. There’s no social safety net for them & the GOP Senate is on vacation? Where is their compassion & understanding of the those unemployed? Reductions in unemployment taxes only reduces benefits. Stop the schemes and give everyoneworking or not, Medicare or Medicaid, 18 & older, cash checks to survive a Pandemic that doesn’t affect you, but effects every American. Give a lump sum $10,000 now to 154 million Americans making $75000 or less. Do it now. The Cost $1.6 Trillion. Provide a Social Safety Net and cut down on our stress. If we had had a National Policy to contain Covid, we wouldn’t be in this position today!
