There really should be a community for “Weird america” or something.
I live in Europe, and I donate blood because it’s the fucking right thing to do. Everyone knows someone whose life was saved by a random donor, and every time you donate blood you’re saving someone’s life.
Like there’s literally no reason to not donate it if your body allows it
I’m American and I donate/sell plasma twice a week. $110 each week which is nice extra money for the time, plus I can help people. It’s a win/win as far as I’m concerned.
You’re obviously getting at what the companies make versus what they give me, and yes, they make far more than they give me. The margins are quite high. The machines are also very expensive from what I’ve been told.
Like I told the other person, stop being weird. If you don’t want to do it or think it’s not worth your time, don’t do it.

Ah, maybe this is the scam.
Q1. What volume of blood is worth $110?
Q2. How much does the medical industry charge for the same type/quantity?
Don’t know, because I said plasma, not blood.
Don’t know, don’t care.

I don’t think it’s weird to consider that the US medical industry is possibly exploiting people through predatory business practices.
OK. And maybe look into the choices of who gets your goods.
