It shouldn't be a shock to any literate person, it's called "environmental racism". Corporate America and corporate India have long polluted poor communities, in fact, polluting poor countries and injuring the citizens of those poor countries for the benefit of the wealthier citizens and countries is just part and parcel of capitalism. There's nothing "new age" about it.

In turn, once the people become sick and diseased, health issues become big business for the corporations. I firmly believe that is one reason the U.S. in the past has not wanted to federally regulate a health care system. There is too much money to be made, when people are not well. It's big business for the institutions and the drug companies.

Daily Horoscope for May 20

Aries

As the Sun cruises into chatty Gemini, you are likely to get involved in a spirited discussion in which you can explain your beliefs and values to other people. Not only will this help you to clarify what you think, it will also give others a useful insight into what really matters to you. On a more mundane note, this is a good day to return something faulty to a shop because you'll be able to put your case well.
