    I recently was talking with someone in south America about things in the US, most of which they hated, then when I got to “yeah, a lot of people sell plasma to help get through school” they were like “WTF! I hate your country! Here we do it as a donation! And you do it to help get through school!?” 😂

      The sick part is, when you donate blood/plasma for free, the organization you gave to sells it at the same price as the people who pay you for it. I think the only exception is if you donate directly to a hospital or clinic.
