It hurts many communities. Loss of wage tax, hospital locality. When are we going to understand that UPMC does not care about about citizens. The bottom line is the only concern they have. They should not be considered a not for profit organization and pay taxes like the rest of us.
Everybody wake up

Daily Horoscope for November 29

Scorpio

You need to take time out to spend with your partner today as he/she probably has something they need to share with you. If you don't take the time now, while empathetic Neptune is stimulated by the caring Moon, you'll find that tomorrow won't go very smoothly. Take this opportunity to work things out, even if it's the last thing you want to do today. A little sacrifice is called for.
