Changes to the requirements for donating blood coupled with the pandemic have led to a drop-off in the number of teens and young adults donating blood.
They do have a point though - more people will donate blood if the time it takes to donate and recover is something they can afford to lose. So if people have better wages, good housing that is close to their workplace, etc., then blood donations will also increase.
Restore sanity to the McDonald’s dollar menu, stop my neighbor’s dog from barking after 8pm, add more Arcane weapons to Elden Ring DLC, and bring spicy popcorn back to my 7-11, and then Red Cross, we might volunteer to be your blood bags.
No.
Start taxing billionaires, fix the housing market, pay us decent wages and maybe we might volunteer to be your blood bags you fucking boomer vampires.
How is the Red Cross responsible for any of that?
It’s hilarious, and telling, that they think the people to lash out against are people needing blood transfusions.
Aka
Cancer, anemia, and trauma patients. Pregnant mothers with complications. Premature infants.
All because “People needing blood must be boomers, so just die.”
A trash opinion, from a trash human, proud of its spiteful ignorance, scared of a prick of pain and a minor inconvenience.

The number of upvotes that comment has is also very telling.

It’s sad that you’re so cynical that you can’t stand the idea of helping another human simply because all people deserve life.
