from what ive manage to research, the red cross is a bunch of douche bags. you know that blood you donated to them? well.....you got fucking ripped off. that "save a life give blood" bull crap they spew is fucking propaganda. apparently all that "life saving" is a money making scheme. that blood you gave for free is gladly accepted by them- because they turn right around and sell it to the same kind of people you could have sold it to.
granted its not a TON of money, but over the course of a month (if youre an avid life saver) you could make several hundred dollars selling blood instead of giving it to people that sell it for you and keep the profits for themselves. the blood selling business is making them hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. just from that alone if the red cross was privately owned it would be a fortune 500 company. not to mention the other scams they probably have going.
so...FUCK THEM if im giving blood i might as well make some cash off of it.
yeah, when i was in collage, all of us sold our blood! it was a quick way to make some easy cash! so i dont understand, why are you so upset with the red cross?
....because they tell you to give it for free and tell you youre doing a great thing when they just turn around and sell it.
i was given the impression by them (and everyone else ive talked to about this)
that the blood they collected was given to places and people that needed it. not to the highest bidder.
im all for selling blood....as long as its your own. theyre profiting off the kindness of millions of unsuspecting people.
