12. they're killing my family |
|
Several family members live in the affected counties. Words can't express how angry I am about this issue. You are brainwashed for a lifetime to be thin and exercise. If you exercise outdoors in these areas, you might as well schedule your bypass surgery right now. Being "healthy" didn't help my family, it put us at greater risk. At the very least, if they won't clean up the air, stop telling people to get exercise, it's killing them.
I have even witnessed people jogging outdoors in southern California, even during fires! Maybe this was a safe practice 50 years ago but it's simply insane now. People need to inform themselves. Thin people get heart disease too, and jogging or other heavy exercise outside in some of these counties is just as bad as smoking cigarettes.
I'm really angry about this. We have no choice but to breathe. Why should I pay in years off my life when I don't even get one single share of stock from these companies polluting our air? Is there no way to make them pay, to sue them as tobacco companies have been sued?
Where is the justice?
