If you're getting paid, it's not a donation

You can't convince me we aren't on some sort of prison planet experiment. The most common theme throughout all of human history is suffering. It doesn't matter where, when, or why, there will always be some degenerate ghouls fucking people over. In this case, the demons that set up the system so that the most vulnerable literally need to give their blood to pay rent. It's fucking disgusting.

Without approving of the American dystopia of paying for plasma donations, can I still say thank you to those that "donate" their plasma so that important medications can be made?

I have received a somewhat unusual vaccination and my antibodies were valuable to a drug company for a while. They were paying 120$ for plasma for a while and you could go 2x a week. The plasma center, like most, wasn’t in the best neighborhood and the cash was doled out be an ATM like machine when you were finished. Well 120 took a hell of a lot more “kachunks” that 15 did and by the time you got your cash there was a whole room full of pissed off desperate folks staring at you. Not that fun.

I have had to sell plasma to make ends meet in my life and I know what those people must have been feeling watching some kid in nice clothes get paid 10x what they were for the same unpleasant procedure. Fucking rough. I used the money to buy a house. They would be lucky to get a groceries out of the deal

Donate plasma. Impact lives. Get paid.

Haulin‘ ass. Gettin‘ paid.

Why? This is why:

I wish I could but I can't.

I used to sell plasma to pay for gas for polyamory. Also for job interviews.

Anyways that’s why I’ve got a track mark on one arm despite being allergic to opiates
